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

We knew each other well

Although we never met

Messages passed to tell

Equal respect
F# B F#
Coincidence recurred
B
I had to laugh a lot
G#m F#
One week hung up superb
B
Said maybe not
[Chorus]

Does it feel the same to you?
E F#
Why do you act the way you do?
