[Verse 1]
G C G
When I was 17

I saw a magazine

It had those English Boys

They moved into my town
Am G
And I just called them up
C
And they'd be there

In 1969
Am
I had a lousy time
G# 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
Am 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
Am
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?
