 Many years from now, when your grandchildren climb upon your knee,
  G minorGm             D MajorD
You may be quite astonished to see...
       E7E7             A augmentedA
...How many channels they can change on T.V.
   A7A7    D MajorD        Dmaj7Dmaj7     D7D7
When some old film in black and white ...comes on,
       B7B7       E minorEm
And there you are upon the screen,
      G minorGm               D MajorD
Or is it someone just like someone you've been,
    E7E7           A augmentedA
Looking not a day over nine - teen?

"Grandad!", the little ones are asking you,
 D MajorD     F# minorF#m   B minorBm     D/AD/A
"Why do you look so sad?" (So-- sad---!)
    E7E7
So you tell them all about the fun you had!

Back in '64 before you were born,
 B7B7      BB     B7B7   E minorEm
People had no time for pouring scorn...
        A augmentedA         A7A7
     ...On dreams of love and peace,
(...Or scoring porn----!)

D MajorD         E MajorE      E7E7      A augmentedA
No one was obese, only tight trousers were worn!

Back in '64 we were at it like knives,
 G+G             F#F#     G+G       BdimBdim
Back in '64 the time of our lives ...was in the present tense!
     D MajorD        B7B7
Now does that make common sense,
   E7E7          A7A7          D MajorD
Any more than girls with hairdos called bee - hives?
             AaugAaug
(Zumm, zumm, zumm, zumm!)

Back in '64 before you were born,
    G+G        BdimBdim     D MajorD      B7B7
But as you've gone on and on, your audience has flown,
   E7E7
And, as you find yourself all on your own...

 You may wistfully re - call ...how Benjamin Dis - raeli said that,
E minorEm                G minorGm
  ..."Life is too short to be small!"...

         D MajorD         Dmaj7Dmaj7  D7D7      B7B7
Or may---be, ...like some old -time song, over all it's long,
    E minor 7Em7    A7A7       D MajorD   Dm7b5Dm7b5  Bb majorBb  D MajorD
So, ...so long,  ...it's all over!
