[Verse 1]
[D]Tom[F#m]my's s[Em]ellin[A]g [D]used cars,[C#]
[Bm]Nancy's fixing [D]hair
[G]Harvey runs a grocery store and

And [G]Paul sells life insurance

[A]Fra[F#m]nk wor[A]ks [Bm]at the mill[D]

[D]Bob works for the city,
[F#m]and Jack's[Bm] in lab research
And [G]Peggy plays organ at the
[A]Presbyterian Church
[D]

[Verse 3]
And the [G]class of '57 had its [D]dreams
[Bm]We all thought we'd change the
world with [E]our great work [A]& deeds
Or [G]maybe we just thought the world
would [D]change to fit our [Bm]needs
The [G]class [A]of '57 had its dreams
[D][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[Eb]
Betty runs a trail[Bb]er p[Gm]ark

And [Bb]Freddie took his life
[Eb]

[Verse 5]
[Eb]Johnny's big in [Gm]cattle,
[Cm]Ray is deep in d[Eb]ebt
Where [Ab]Mavis finally wound
up is [F]anybody's bet
[Eb]Linda married [Gm]Sonny, [Cm]Brenda married me
And the [Ab]class of all of us are
just [Bb]part of history
[Eb]

[Verse 6]
And the [Ab]class of '57 had its [Eb]dreams
But [Cm]living life day to day is
[F]never like it [Bb]seems
[Ab]Things get complicated when
[Eb]you get past e[Cm]ighteen
But the [Ab]class [Bb]of '57 had its d[Eb]reams[Cm]
Oh, the [Ab]class [Bb]of '57 had its dreams
[Eb]
