[Verse 1]
D# G# D#
When I was 17
Fm
I saw a magazine
E D#
It had those English Boys
G# D#
Who had long hair
G# D#
When I was on my own
G#
They moved into my town
Fm D#
And I just called them up
G#
And they'd be there
G# D#
In 1969
Fm
I had a lousy time
E D#
I listened to the songs
G# D#
Read letters sent from Nam
D# G# D#
Now peace and love were gone
G#
The tired soldiers home
Fm D#
Ideal society
G#
Gunned down the 70s
C# D#
Does it feel the same to you?
C# D#
Why do you act the way you do?
C# D#
Pack it up or pack it in
Fm
There's no excuse
[Chorus]
C# D#
Could the hands of time reverse?
C# D#
Would we wake or take the ride
C# D#
And again speak with one voice?

We knew each other well

Although we never met

Messages passed to tell

Equal respect
D# G# D#
Coincidence recurred
G#
I had to laugh a lot
Fm D#
One week hung up superb
G#
Said maybe not
