Intro : Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramA/EA/E  Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramA/EA/E

AM7
How 'bout a tear
        Chord diagramG#m7G#m7
for the year of 1960
Chord diagramF#m7F#m7
I watched the fins
       Chord diagramE MajorE        Chord diagramE7E7
of the Cadillac fall
AM7              Chord diagramG#m7G#m7
I remember Dad explained
                 Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramA augmentedA - Chord diagramE MajorE
about the Berlin Wall

AM7
How 'bout a tear
        Chord diagramG#m7G#m7
for the torment and the trouble
Chord diagramF#m7F#m7                    Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramE7E7
That was brewing in the Asian way
AM7
I wore a smile
         Chord diagramG#m7G#m7                Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramA augmentedA - Chord diagramE MajorE
like the faces that surround L.A.

Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramDdimDdim
In the city of the lost and found
Chord diagramC#m7C#m7               Chord diagramF#m7F#m7 Chord diagramF# minorF#m - Chord diagramE MajorE
It's hard to get a break
Chord diagramD MajorD                         Chord diagramDdimDdim
Hard to stop from getting turned around
Chord diagramC#m7C#m7                 Chord diagramF#7F#7
And make the same mistakes

Chord diagramA augmentedA               E/G#
My reputation's on the line
Chord diagramF#m7F#m7              Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramF#m7F#m7 - E/G#
The final day of '59
Chord diagramA augmentedA                      E/G#
But like the sun, just watch me shine
  Chord diagramD MajorD  A-E
Today

AM7                       Chord diagramG#m7G#m7
How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
Chord diagramF#m7F#m7           Chord diagramE MajorE         Chord diagramE7E7
I practiced 61 minutes a day
AM7                     Chord diagramG#m7G#m7
I could never reach the keys
               Chord diagramD MajorD A-E
But it was all OK

AM7                       Chord diagramG#m7G#m7
How 'bout a cheer for the humor in my brother
Chord diagramF#m7F#m7                        Chord diagramE MajorE      Chord diagramE7E7
That could brighten up the darkest nights
AM7                       Chord diagramG#m7G#m7
It's just another sign of love
                  Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramA augmentedA - Chord diagramE MajorE
Whenever we would fight

Chord diagramD MajorD                        Chord diagramDdimDdim
It's all the same twenty years ago
Chord diagramC#m7C#m7          Chord diagramF#m7F#m7  F#m-E
As it is right now
Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramDdimDdim
Like a tour at the closing show
Chord diagramC#m7C#m7           Chord diagramF#7F#7
When I take my bow

Chord diagramA augmentedA               E/G#
My reputation's on the line
Chord diagramF#m7F#m7              Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramF#m7F#m7 - E/G#
At the start of '79
Chord diagramA augmentedA                      E/G#
But like the sun, just watch me shine
   Chord diagramD MajorD  A-E
Today
Chord diagramA augmentedA                        E/G#
I've played this part so many times
Chord diagramF#m7F#m7               Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramF#m7F#m7 - E/G#
Since the end of '59
Chord diagramA augmentedA                      E/G#
But like the sun, just watch me shine
  Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramA augmentedA (fade)
