Many years from now, when your grandchildren climb upon your knee,
GmD
You may be quite astonished to see...
E7A
...How many channels they can change on T.V.
A7DDmaj7D7
When some old film in black and white ...comes on,
B7Em
And there you are upon the screen,
GmD
Or is it someone just like someone you've been,
E7A
Looking not a day over nine - teen?

'Grandad!', the little ones are asking you,
DF#mBmD/A
'Why do you look so sad?' (So-- sad---!)

Back in '64 before you were born,

...On dreams of love and peace,
(...Or scoring porn----!)

No one was obese, only tight trousers were worn!

Back in '64 we were at it like knives,
GF#GBdim
Back in '64 the time of our lives ...was in the present tense!
DB7
Now does that make common sense,
E7A7D
Any more than girls with hairdos called bee - hives?

But as you've gone on and on, your audience has flown,
E7
And, as you find yourself all on your own...

...'Life is too short to be small!'...
