G                 C            G
1. I still hear the snares in the square
   G                     D
   Colours ablaze in the evening
   G                          Em
   The air was still down the stormy hills
   C                         D
   It's good to be young and daring
   
2. She was the pride of the summer that year
   She was my sweetheart, my lady
   We walked to Black Rock and stopped by the Loch
   It's good to be young and daring
   C
   It's good to be young

   G              D
R: Beat the drum, beat the drum
   Em                C          D
   Like a heartbeat, lonely and Strong

3. Across the bay I can still hear the strains
   The two step loud and blaring
   We walked hand and hand to the beat of the band
   It's good to be young and daring

R: Beat the drum...

4. I still hear the snares in the square
   Colours ablaze in the evening
   She was the pride of the summer that year
   It's good to be young and daring

R: Beat the drum...
