[Verse 1]
[D]Out of the sky on flight 79
Leav[G]ing my rock and roll life behind
I [C]stepped back in the world
of my [D]home town
Dressed to kill for a class reunion
Driv[G]in' around in my red Lincoln
Bop[C]pin' along to those
rockin' 60's [D]sounds
Most of my friends were still around
But the [G]town [D]got smal[G]ler
when the mill shut down
And [C]some of them drifted off
to bigger [D]places
There's a new stone soldier
on the courthouse lawn
Cause Bobby got [G]killed in Vietnam
But [C]mainly I was seeing the same old [D]faces
[Bm]Ain't it kind of funny[D]
how every[E]body's changed but me
[G]So here's a little blast from the past
for the [A]class of 63
[D]Hey baby, turn your [A]lights down [D]low
Playin' our song on the [A]radio
Shak[D]in' my Chevy with the
back[G]seat dance
Livin' by [D]love and [A]lovin' by
[D]stance[G][D][A][D]
Johnny was voted class president
The [G]girls just [D]swooned
[G]everywhere he went
Sev[C]en wives later he's become
a divorce court [D]king
Donnie Borshaw could sling a towel
[G]He'd murder the ref if he called a foul
[D]Now buy[C]ing radio stations
is his [D]thing
Rockin' Dave would really
put on some moves
If you scratched [G]his record,
he'd dance on your bruise
[C]Now he teaches kids the
Arthur Murray [D]style
It's like little Steve and the race champs
said I ain't got a [G]dime,
but at least I ain't dead
And these [C]memories
will feed the money by [D]my own
[Bm]Ain't it kind of funny[D]
how every[E]body's changed but me
[G]So here's a little blast from the past
for the [A]class of 63
[D]Hey baby, turn the [A]lights down [D]low
We're playing our song on the radi[A]o
Shak[D]ing my Chevy with the
back[G]seat dance
Livin' by [D]love and lov[A]in' [D]by

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Ain't it kinda funny[D]
how every[E]body's changed with me
[G]So here's a little blast from the past
for the [A]class of 63
[D]Hey, baby,
turn your lights down low
They're playing our song
on the radi[A]o
Shak[D]in' my Chevy with
a backseat [G]dance
Liv[D]in' my love and lovin' by chance
Hey, baby, turn your [A]lights down [D]low
They're playing our song
on the radi[A]o
Shak[D]in' my Chevy with
a backseat [G]dance
Livin' my [D]love and [A]lovin' [D]by chance
Hey, baby, turn your [A]lights down [D]low
We're playin' our song on the radi[A]o
Shak[D]in' my shell with a
back[G]seat dance
Livin' my [D]love and [A]lovin' my [D]chance
Liv[G]in' my [D]love and [A]lovin' my chance
