[Intro] D A G x2 [Verse]
    D                A                    G
Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad

         D                A             G   G/F#
It was a time like no one else has ever had

Em                   A
We learned to drive, we learned to fly

Em              A
We sent a man into the sky

     Em               A                G    G/F#
When he walked on the moon, we were so glad

      Em            A   G          A        D
Yeah, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad

Yeah, the twentieth century was quite a ride

D                  A             G    G/F#
We had to learn to see the other side

       Em                 A
We had demonstrations and liberations

Em                    A
Great depressions and good vibrations

    Em                   A                  G    G/F#
And doors that once were closed were opened wide

    Em            A   G       A       D
Oh, the twentieth century was quite a ride
[Bridge]
       G                   F#m7
We had movin' pictures and radio

    Em        G        A
And Broadway, country, rock and roll

   G     F#m7
In 1900, who'd a bet

     Em                    A
we'd all be surfing on the internet
[Verse]

Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show

   D                   A                  G    G/F#
We all had our fifteen minutes, don't you know

Em              A
Assembly lines, celebrities,

Em                      A
the spotlight shined on you and me

    Em        A              G   G/F#
And everybody got a standin' O

      Em            A   G          A        D
Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show
[Bridge] G F#m7
Em           G   A
Telegraph to television

   G     F#m7
In 1900, who'd a known

     Em               A
we'd all wind up with pocket phones
[Verse]
    D            A                    G
The twentieth century wasn't all that long

D                    A            G    G/F#
Just a hundred years has come and gone

Em               A
We can't go back even if we try

Em                     A
So I'll just smile and wave goodbye

   Em             A              G
To see it leavin' makes me kinda sad

         D                A             G   G/F#
