Em                D          C
Eleanor, I got some bad news today
            Em
The doctor told me there was
    D                 C
A whole lot of hurt coming along the way
             Em                  D
Well, it’ll get my liver, it’ll get my lungs
        C
It’ll crush that life we were dreaming of
   Em                D          C
Eleanor, I got some bad news today
          Em                   D           C
Do you remember when we were young in ’68?
                 Em                   D
See, you were a few years older than me
            C
So I was nervous on our date
                Em                   D
But it was the way you’d laugh that made me feel
   C
Strange, odd thing, it could be real
          Em                   D           C
Do you remember when we were young in ’68?

Do you remember when we were young in ’68?


[Verse 2]
       Em              D                   C
Oh, I guess I always hoped I’d have more time
          Em                  D
All the things we could have seen and done
       C
If I only were alive
                 Em                D
But I bet the heartache and the medical bills
      C
Will get me before the cancer will
   Em              D                      C
I guess I always hoped I’d have more time
                                              G C G C Em D C Em D C G C G C G C
Oh, I guess I always hoped I’d have more time

   Em                   D          C
Eleanor, I’ve got some bad news today
                Em
Just let them grief nights in
    D                C
So you can lower my body in that grave
                    Em             D
Well, please, don’t let your life end with me
        C
You’ll make a great mom one day, you’ll see
   Em                   D          C
Eleanor, I’ve got some bad news today
  C
Please don’t forget when we were young in ‘68
