Introdução:
D7M D7 B7 Em
Many years from now, 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.
A7 D D7M D7
When some old film in black and white ...comes on,
B7 Em
And there you are upon the screen,
Gm D
Or is it someone just like someone you've been,
E7 A
Looking not a day over nine - teen?
G Gm
"Grandad!", the little ones are asking you,
D F#m Bm D/A
"Why do you look so sad?" (So-- sad---!)
E7
So you tell them all about the fun you had!
D A+ D D7
Back in '64 before you were born,
B7 B B7 Em
People had no time for pouring scorn...
A A7
...On dreams of love and peace,
(...Or scoring porn----!)
D E E7 A
No one was obese, only tight trousers were worn!
D A+ D D7
Back in '64 we were at it like knives,
G F# G Bº
Back in '64 the time of our lives ...was in the present tense!
D B7
Now does that make common sense,
E7 A7 D
Any more than girls with hairdos called bee - hives?
A+
(Zumm, zumm, zumm, zumm!)

D A+ D D7
Back in '64 before you were born,
G F#
Back in '64 before you were born,
G Bº D B7
But as you've gone on and on, your audience has flown,
E7
And, as you find yourself all on your own...
A+ D D7M D7 B7
You may wistfully re - call ...how Benjamin Dis - raeli said that,
Em Gm
..."Life is too short to be small!"...
D D7M D7 B7
Or may---be, ...like some old -time song, over all it's long,
Em7 A7 D Dm7 Bb D
So, ...so long, ...it's all over!
