Back in '64 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Many years from now
When your grandchildren
[B]climb up on [Em]your knee
You [Gm]may be quite astonished [D]to see
How many [E]channels they
can change on [A]TV

[Verse 2]
When some [D]old film in black and white
Comes on and there you
[B]are up on [Em]the screen
Or is it [Gm]someone just like
someone you've [D]been
Looking [E]not a day over nine
[A]teen[Faug]

[Verse 3]
[G]"Granddad",
[Gm]the little ones are asking you
[D]"Why do you look [F#m]so sad[Bm]?"[D]
So [E]you tell them all about
the fun [A]you had[Faug]

[Verse 4]
[D]"Back in [Faug]'64, before you were bo[D]rn
[B]People had no time for
pouring [Em]scorn
(Or scoring porn)
On [A]dreams of love and peace,
[D]no one was obese
[E]Only tight trousers were [A]worn"[Faug]

[Verse 5]
[D]"Back [Faug]in '64, we were at it like knive[D]s
[G]Back in '64, the time of our [F#]lives
Was [G]in the present [Abdim]tense
Now, does [D]that make common [B]sense?
Any [E]more than girls with [A]hair-dos called called
bee[D]hives?"[A]

[Interlude 1]

[A][D][E][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]Back [A]in [Faug]'64, before you were born[D]
[G]Back in '64, before you were [F#]born
But as [G]you've gone on and [Abdim]on
Your [D]audience has [B]flown
And [E]as you find yourself
all on your [A]own[Faug]

[Verse 7]
You may [D]wistfully recall
How Benjamin Dis[B]raeli said that
[Em]Life is too short to be sm[Gm]all
Or maybe [D]like some old time song
Over all it's [B]long so, [Em]so long,
[A]it's all[D] ove[Bb]r
[D]
