Here's a tab for this brilliant song for the ages.
Hope you enjoy it!


Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-e


Intro: C-D-G (7x)
       C-D pause

verse 1:
    C       D       G
Natatawa sa atin kaibigan
          C          D    G
At nangangaral ang buong mundo
  C          D           G
Wala na raw tayong mga kabataan
     C         D-G
Sa ating mga ulo


verse 2:
        C           D   Em-D
Kung gusto niyo kaming sigawan
  C        D         G
Bakit hindi niyo subukan?
C           D
Lalo lang kayong
           G        C-D-G
Hindi maiintindihan


Chorus:
              C-D-G
Ang awit ng kabataan
              C-D-G
Ang awit ng panahon
              C   D G
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
         C    D     G
Awitin natin ngayon

      C      D        G
Hindi niyo kami mabibilang
      C           D      G
At hindi rin maikukulong
C                         G
Marami kami ngunit iisa lamang
     C       G
Ang aming pasyon


(Repeat Chorus)


verse 3:
                C
At sa pag-tulog sa gabi
      G     G   G pause
Maririnig ang dasal
       C
Ng kabataang uhaw
         G
Sa tunay na pagmamahal


solo: (do chords of chorus)
