[Verse 1]
C F C
When I was 17
Dm
I saw a magazine
C# C
It had those English Boys

Who had long hair

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

One week hung up superb
