G                                 
 pushing thru' the market square
F#m

Em  C
 so many mother sighing
A
 News had just come over
        C                         
 We had five years left ti cry in
G Am



 News guy wept and told us
 earth eas really dying
 Cried so much, his face was wet
 Then i knew he was not lying.

 G Am    G
 I heard telephones, opera house, 
favorite melodies
   Bm  Em
 I saw boys, toys, electric irons 
and T.V's
    A
 My brain hurt like a ware house, it
 had no room to spare
           C
 I had to cram so many things to 
store ev'ry thing in there
                 Am
 And all the fat skinny people
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
C                       Am
 And all the tall short people
C              G  Am G
 And all the nobody  people
C                G  Am D7
 And all the somebody  people
 I never thought i'd need so many 
Am       C    G Am
people



 A girl my age went off her head
 Hit some tiny children
 If the black had not puled her off
 I think she would have killed them

 A soldier with a broken arm
 Fixed his state to the wheels of a 
Cadilac
 A cop Knelt and kissed the feet of 
a priest
 And a queer threw up at at the 
sight of that

G                                 
 I think i saw you in an ice cream
        F#m
 parlour
Em
 Drinking milkshakes cold and long
A
 smiling and waving and looking so 
fine
C
 Don't think you knew you were in 
this song

     G  Am  G
 And it was cold, and it rained, so 
i felt like an actor
 F#m   Em
 And i thoought of Ma, and i wanted 
to get back there
      A
 Your face, Your race, the way that 
you talk
   C                             
 I kiss you, you're beautifull, I 
                   G  Am

G                        Bm
five years stuck on my eyes
Em

A
five years my brain hurts a lot
C
five years that's all we got we've 
got
