Back In 64

Dmaj7                             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                Dmaj7          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        Aaug                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       Aaug                    D     D7 
Back in '64 we were at it like knives, 
  G                          F#          G              Bdim 
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? 
                          Aaug 
(Zumm, zumm, zumm, zumm!) 


   D    Aaug      D     D7       B7    B  B7    Em 
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  | 

   A7             D              E     E7       A 
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  


 D       Aaug                D     D7 
Back in '64 before you were born, 
 G                           F# 
Back in '64 before you were born, 
        G                Bdim         D           B7 
But as you've gone on and on, your audience has flown, 
     E7 
And, as you find yourself all on your own... 
                 



Aaug        D           Dmaj7          D7            B7 
 You may wistfully re - call ...how Benjamin Dis - raeli said that, 
Em                               Gm 
    ..."Life is too short to be small!"... 

                 D                  Dmaj7   D7            B7 
Or may---be, ...like some old -time song,  over all it's long, 
       Em7       A7             D     Dm7/b5   Bb    D 
So, ...so long,   ...it's all over!
