Back In '64

 
         




            Dmaj7
			Many years from now 

			          D7            B7              Em
			When your grandchildren climb upon your knee 

			    Gm                             D
			You may be quite astonished to see 

			         E7                              A
			How many channels they can change on t.v. 

			              D                 Dmaj7
			When some old film in black and white 

			      D7               B7           Em
			Comes on and there you are upon the screen 

			         Gm                                    D
			Or is it someone just like someone you've been 

			        E7                 A      A+
			Looking not a day over nineteen? 

			G               Gm
			"Grand dad" the little ones are asking you 

			D           F#m     Bm        D
			"Why do you look so sad?" (so sad)

			       E7                              A    A+
			So you tell them all about the fun you had 

			D         A+                D    D7
			Back in '64 before you were born 

			B7                             Em                A7
			People had no time for pouring scorn (or scoring porn) 

			   A7 
			On dreams of love and peace 

			D 
			No one was obese 

			E7                       A     A+
			Only tight trousers were worn 

			D         A+                   D       D7
			Back in '64 we were at it like knives
 
			G                           F#
			Back in '64 the time of our lives 

			    G              B dim
			Was in the present tense 

			         D                B7
			Now does that make common sense 

			    E7                   A7                D      A+
			Any more than girls with hairdos called beehives? 


			(Instrumental: D  A+  D  D7  B7  Em  A7  D  E7  A)


			D         A+                D     D7
			Back in '64 before you were born 

			G                           F#
			Back in '64 before you were born 

			       G                  B dim
			But as you've gone on and on 

			     D            B7
			Your audience has flown 

			    E7                               A7    
			And as you find yourself all on your own 

			        D           Dmaj7
			You may wistfully recall 

			    D7          B7     
			How Benjamin Disraeli said that 

			Em                       Gm
			"Life is too short to be small" 

			         D                  Dmaj7
			Or maybe like some old time song 

			D7           B7
			Overall it's long - so 

			Em      A7          D      Bb    D
			so long... it's all over. 




          The end of this song reminds of a bad time... let's just move on...
