Young man, there's no need to feel down              [Verse]

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground     A   A

I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town      F#m  F#m

There's no need to be unhappy - …                   D    D

Young man, there's a place you can go               E>D>E

I said, young man, when you're short on your dough  D>A>E

You can stay there and I'm sure you will find       E   E

Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to stay at the YMCA (x2)                     [Hook]

(They have everything for young men to enjoy  A  A F#m F#m

 You can hang out with all the boys           Bm D  E7 E7

/You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal

 You can do whatever you feel) x2)

Young man, are you listening to me                   [Intro]

I said, young man, what do you wanna be          (E  E

I said, young man, you can make real your dreams  E  E x2)

But you got to know this one thing               (F#m-E

No man does it all by himself                         E x2)

I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf    E  E7

And just go there, to the YMCA

I'm sure they can help you today                      [Hook]

Young man, I was once in your shoes       ╔════════════════╗

I said, I was down and out with the blues ║      YMCA      ║

I felt no man cared if I were alive       ║ Village People ║

I felt the whole world was so tight       ╚════════════════╝

That's when someone came up to me

And said, young man, take a walk up the street

There's a place there, called the YMCA

They can start you back on your way         [Hook - Part #1]

YMCA - (It's fun to stay at) the YMCA              [Hook #2]

Young man (x2), (there's no need to feel down)

Young man (x2), (get yourself off the ground)  [Solo - Hook]

[Hook #2] (…)                 (are you listening to me)

                              (what do you wanna be)

[Hook #2] (You'll find it at) (does it all by himself)

                              (put your pride on the shelf)

[Hook #2] (And just go to)    (I was once in your shoes)
