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

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