[Intro 1]
[D][Eb][Em][Eb][D]

[Verse 1]
When I was [G]seventeen
[D]I saw a mag[Em]azine.
It had those [Eb]English [D]boys
who had long [G]hair.[D]
When I was [G]on my [D]own they
moved in[G]to my town,
And I just [Em]called 'em [D]up
and they'd be [G]there.
[D]In 1969 I had a [Em]lousy time.
I listened [Eb]to the songs,
[D]read letters sen[G]t from Nam[D].
Now peace and [G]love were gone,
[D]the tired sol[G]diers home.
Ideal so[Em]ciety [D]gunned
down the [G]seventies.
Does [C]it feel the same to [D]you?
Why do you [C]act the way you [D]do?
Pack it [C]up or pack it in.
[D]There's no excuse.
[Em]Could the hand[C]s of time reverse?
[D]Would we wak[C]e or take the rid[D]e
And [C]again speak with one [D]voice?
[Eb][Em][Eb][E][Em][Eb]
[D]
We knew each [G]other [D]well
although we [Em]never met.
Messages [Eb]passed to [D]tell
equal [G]respect.[D]
Coincid[G]ence [D]recurred.
I had to [G]laugh a lot.
One week hung [Em]up superb, s[D]aid maybe not.
