[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
Many years from now,
          D7            B7        
When your grandchildren climb upon
      Em
 your knee,
    Gm                        
You may be quite astonished to 
 D
see...
            E7                     
...How many channels they can 
        A
change on T. V.

Dmaj7          D7
              B7           Em
And there you are upon the screen,
         Gm                        
Or is it someone just like someone 
       D
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

D7
Back in '64 before you were born,
B7            B        B7      
People had no time for pouring 
Em
scorn...
               A                  
         ...On dreams of love and 
A7
peace,
(...Or scoring porn!)

D                 E       
No one was obese, only tight 
   E7            A
trousers were worn

[Verse 4]
D        Aaug                  D    
    D7
Back in '64 we were at it like 
knives,
G                         
Back in '64 the time of our 
  F#          G              Bdim
lives...was in the present tense!
         D                B7
Now does that make common sense,
    E7                   A7    
Any more than girls with hairdos 
               D
called bee - hives?
                           Aaug
(Zumm, zumm, zumm, zumm!)

Back in '64 before you were born,

Back in '64 before you were born,

But as you've gone on and on,  
  D            B7
your audience has flown,
     E7
And, as you find yourself all on 
your own...

Aaug     D             Dmaj7
You may wistfully re - call...
       D7             B7
...How Benjamin Dis - raeli said 
that,
Em                          
  ..."Life is too short to be 
  Gm
small!"
            D                   
Or maybe,...like some old -time 
Dmaj7  D7            B7
song,  over all it's long,
       Em7       A7           D  
So, ...so long,   ...it's all 
   Dm7b5   Bb    D
over!
