Back In '64
Dmaj7 Many years from now D7 B7 Em When your grandchildren climb upon your knee Gm D You may be quite astonished to see E7 A How many channels they can change on t.v. D Dmaj7 When some old film in black and white D7 B7 Em Comes on and there you are upon the screen Gm D Or is it someone just like someone you've been E7 A A+ Looking not a day over nineteen? G Gm "Grand dad" the little ones are asking you D F#m Bm D "Why do you look so sad?" (so sad) E7 A A+ So you tell them all about the fun you had D A+ D D7 Back in '64 before you were born B7 Em A7 People had no time for pouring scorn (or scoring porn) A7 On dreams of love and peace D No one was obese E7 A A+ Only tight trousers were worn D A+ D D7 Back in '64 we were at it like knives G F# Back in '64 the time of our lives G B dim Was in the present tense D B7 Now does that make common sense E7 A7 D A+ Any more than girls with hairdos called beehives? (Instrumental: D A+ D D7 B7 Em A7 D E7 A) D A+ D D7 Back in '64 before you were born G F# Back in '64 before you were born G B dim But as you've gone on and on D B7 Your audience has flown E7 A7 And as you find yourself all on your own D Dmaj7 You may wistfully recall D7 B7 How Benjamin Disraeli said that Em Gm "Life is too short to be small" D Dmaj7 Or maybe like some old time song D7 B7 Overall it's long - so Em A7 D Bb D so long... it's all over.
The end of this song reminds of a bad time… let's just move on…
