The Twentieth Century

	  		intro - D A G  x2 
 
 
verse I- 
    D                A                    G 
Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad 
         D                A             G   G/F# 
It was a time like no one else has ever had 
Em                   A 
We learned to drive, we learned to fly 
Em              A 
We sent a man into the sky 
     Em               A                G    G/F#   
When he walked on the moon, we were so glad 
      Em            A   G          A        D  
Yeah, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad 
 
 
verse II- 
      D                A                G 
Yeah, the twentieth century was quite a ride 
D                  A             G    G/F# 
We had to learn to see the other side 
       Em                 A 
We had demonstrations and liberations 
Em                    A 
Great depressions and good vibrations 
    Em                   A                  G    G/F# 
And doors that once were closed were opened wide 
    Em            A   G       A       D 
Oh, the twentieth century was quite a ride 
 
 
Bridge I- 
       G                   F#m7 
We had movin' pictures and radio 
    Em        G        A 
And Broadway, country, rock and roll 
   G     F#m7 
In 1900, who'd a bet  
     Em                    A 
we'd all be surfing on the internet 
 
 
verse III- 
      D                A                    G 
Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show 
   D                   A                  G    G/F# 
We all had our fifteen minutes, don't you know 
Em              A 
Assembly lines, celebrities,  
Em                      A 
the spotlight shined on you and me 
    Em        A              G   G/F# 
And everybody got a standin' O 
      Em            A   G          A        D  
Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show 
 
 
Bridge II- 
       G                   F#m7 
From blocks of ice to air-condition 
Em           G   A 
Telegraph to television 
   G     F#m7 
In 1900, who'd a known   
     Em               A 
we'd all wind up with pocket phones 
 
 
verse IV- 
    D            A                    G 
The twentieth century wasn't all that long 
D                    A            G    G/F# 
Just a hundred years has come and gone 
Em               A 
We can't go back even if we try 
Em                     A 
So I'll just smile and wave goodbye 
   Em             A              G    
To see it leavin' makes me kinda sad 
         D                A             G   G/F# 
It was a time like no one else has ever had 
    Em            A   G          A        D  
Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad 
 
D  A  G 
 
D  A  G 
       The twentieth century 
D  A  G 
(fade out) 
D  A  G 
       The twentieth century 
D  A  G
