D   Em7      D     Em7   D   Em7   D   Em7
She wakes up early every morning,
D   Em7     D      Em7      D    Em7  D  Em7
she gets up long before the sunshine,
D   Em7        D       Em7         D   Em7   D  Em7
    greets the milkman who's still yawning
D   Em7       D     Em7   D     Em7    D   Em7
and reads the paper for a short time.
A                         D       Em7  D  Em7
Calls the kids "Get out of bed",
A                          D      Em7  D
they never hear a word she says.

D  Em7  D         Em7       D     Em7  D
Husband stands to leave the table,
    Em7     D        Em7    D          Em7   D
she says "I hope you have a good day."
   Em7         D        Em7    D     Em7   D
he thinks "One day soon as I'm able,
     Em7   D         Em7   D          Em7  D  Em7
I'll get a job where I get good pay."
A                              D    Em7  D  Em7
They find it hard to make ends meet.
A                             Bm
But they don't mention it, because they have each other
    G                   A
and love is free, while they're supposed to be

D   G           D   G    D   G           A
too young to be married, too young to be free,
D   G           D            G
too young to be married, but what can they do:
G                        D    A 
they were gonna have a baby.

After the kids have had their breakfast
D           Em7    D        Em7   D     Em7   D   Em7
now they're off to get some schoolin'
D   Em7        D         Em7       D    Em7   D   Em7
she cleans the house and makes the beds
D   Em7       D         Em7         D   Em7   D   Em7
she starts to dream but knows she's foolin'
A                                 D     Em7   D
she swears one day she'll stay in bed,
A                           Bm
but for now she knows she's got to keep on working,
       G                                   A
'cause round and round inside her head she hears the words her mother
said:

D   G           D   G    D   G           A
Too young to be married, too young to be free,
D   G           D            G
too young to be married, but what could they do:
G                        D    A
they were gonna have a baby.

D   G           D   G    D   G           A

too young to be married, but what could they do?

Video Too Young To Be Married

The Hollies - Too Young To Be Married
The Hollies performing the classic track in New Zealand in 1976. Of course the beautiful song written by the gorgeous Mr Tony Hicks - Oh sorry Tone !!!

The Hollies - Too Young To Be Married
The video appears to be from German television and is a very strange edit including footage from another appearance in which the band performed "Hey Willy". I've learned that this editing was done to edit out the credits of the original program. Very strange.
