[Verse 1]
D           G D
When I was 17

               Em
I saw a magazine

             D#            D
It had those English Boys

                G   D
Who had long hair

           G          D
When I was on my own

              G
They moved into my town

           Em              D
And I just called them up

                  G
And they'd be there

G        D
In 1969

                Em
I had a lousy time

           D#           D
I listened to the songs

              G              D
Read letters sent from Nam

D             G                 D
Now peace and love were gone

           G
The tired soldiers home

        Em      D
Ideal society

                 G
Gunned down the 70s

        C                  D
Does it feel the same to you?

            C               D
Why do you act the way you do?

        C               D
Pack it up or pack it in

                Em
There's no excuse
[Chorus]
          C                   D
Could the hands of time reverse?

          C                  D
Would we wake or take the ride

    C                        D
And again speak with one voice?

[Verse 2]
D            G           D
We knew each other well

            Em
Although we never met

         D#             D
Messages passed to tell

            G  D
Equal respect

D                  G   D
Coincidence recurred

          G
I had to laugh a lot

          Em             D
One week hung up superb

             G
Said maybe not
[Chorus]
        C                  D
Does it feel the same to you?

            C               D
Why do you act the way you do?

        C               D
Pack it up or pack it in

                Em
There's no excuse

          C                   D
Could the hands of time reverse?

          C                  D
Would we wake or take the ride

    C                        D
And again speak with one voice?
