[Verse]
F# G F#
Where were you in sixty-eight, in sixty-eight Julie was Johnnie's date.
G F#
Two kids growin' together Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away.
G F#
Oooh, they were just sixteen and their love a teenage dream.
G F#
They passed the time, they crossed the line, the line that ran between.
G A
Julie and Johnnie now you've made it!
[Chorus]
D G A7 D
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy.
D G A7 D
You've just gotta be strong if you're one of the sixteens.

And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy
D G
You know you'll never go wrong
A D
'Cause you're aaaa-aa-aa-aa-all, part of the sixteens.

Suzie and Davey got to make the big time, maybe they can,
F# G F#

On Desolation boulevard they'll light the faded light

F# G
So where were you in sixty-eight when Bobby and Billy thought that
F#
sixty eight was out of date.
F# G
They took the flowers from their hair and tried to make us all aware,
F#
too bad, too late.
G F#
So they lived from day to day and tried to do it all their way.
G F#
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight. No matter what they say.
G A
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it, one day...
