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

[Verse 2]
A# D# A#
We knew each other well
Cm
Although we never met
B A#
Messages passed to tell
D# A#
Equal respect
A# D# A#
Coincidence recurred
D#
I had to laugh a lot
Cm A#
One week hung up superb
D#
Said maybe not
[Chorus]
G# A#
Does it feel the same to you?
G# A#
Why do you act the way you do?
G# A#
Pack it up or pack it in
Cm
There's no excuse
G# A#
Could the hands of time reverse?
G# A#
Would we wake or take the ride
G# A#
And again speak with one voice?
