D            A                          
When I was a young boy,                 
D            A                          
My mama said to me                      
A7                   Em7                
Your daddy's leavin' home today,        
A7           Em7                        
I think he's gone to stay.              
D            A                          
We packed up all our bags               
D                A                      
And drove out to Winnipeg.              
                                        
When we got to Winnipeg                 
I checked in to school.                 
I wore white bucks on my feet,          
When I learned the golden rule.         
The punches came fast and hard          
Lying on my back in the school yard.    
                                        
Don't be denied, don't be denied.       
Don't be denied, don't be denied.       
Don't be denied, don't be denied.       
                                        
Well pretty soon I met a friend,        
He played guitar.                       
We used to sit on the steps at school   
And dream of being stars.               
We started a band,                      
We played all night.                    
                                        
The businessmen crowded around          
They came to hear the golden sound      
There we were on the Sunset Strip,      
Playing our songs for the highest bid.  
We played all night                     
The price was right.                    
      
Don't be denied, don't be denied.           
Don't be denied, don't be denied.           
Don't be denied, don't be denied.           
                                            
Well, all that glitters isn't gold          
I know you've heard that story told.        
And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise        
A millionaire through a business man's eyes.
Oh friend of mine                           
Don't be denied.                            
                                            
Don't be denied, don't be denied.           
Don't be denied, don't be denied.           
Don't be denied, don't be denied.
