Intro
F# Cb C# F# x2
[Verse 1]
F# Cb
In the ancient middle fifties,
C# F#
the closin' sixties roar
F# Cb
I was caught up in your passion
C# F#
I could only beg for more
F# Cb
And if I had a dollar bill
C# F#
I'd give it to you then
F# Cb
So I could tell the whole wide world
C# F#
One day I knew you when
F# Cb C# F# x2
[Verse 2]
F# Cb
With your dangerous charisma
C# F#
Your thundering attack
F# Cb
You charged the very air I breathe
C# F#
And kept me coming back
F# Cb
You helped me through my darkest hours
C# F#
You always were my friend
F# Cb
You gave me hope to carry on
C# F#
Because I knew you when
[Bridge]
Cb A#m Cb F#
I knew you when the mountain tops were right beneath your feet
Cb F# C#
When artistry and freedom were complete
Cb C# F# A# D#m F# Cb
Before you were an icon, before they all tuned in
C# F#
You could say I knew you when
F# Cb C# F# x2
[Verse 3]
F# Cb
We all sit here with our memories,
C# F#
of a glorious long ago
F# Cb
When our heroes seemed immortal,
C# F#
were they really so
F# Cb
It's a question for a wiser man
C# F#
I will not ask again
F# Cb
I will only say I'm grateful
C# F#
For the time I knew you when
[Outro]
F# Cb
I knew you when (I knew you when)
C# F#
Oh, I knew you when
F# Cb
I knew you when (I knew you when)
C# F#
Yeah I knew you when
F# Cb C# F# x2
F# Cb
I knew you when (I knew you when)
C# F#
Yeah I knew you when
