[Verse 1]
A D A
When I was 17
Bm
I saw a magazine
A# 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
Bm A
And I just called them up
D
And they'd be there
D A
In 1969
Bm
I had a lousy time
A# 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
Bm 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
Bm
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?
A# Bm A# Bm A# A

I had to laugh a lot

One week hung up superb

Said maybe not
