Hi everyone, this Is 1963 by Jonathan Richman

D
Well, you moved out from the city
How come out there?
G
For a calm, for a calm
That I recall from somewhere
                Bm
So I could smell the plain old wind
Without fabric softener blent in
                          G
So I could see a landscape without a fence
So I could hear that loud silence
D
All right now you're away from the city
Why did you go?
G
I think I know, I think I know

              Bm
To get the feelin' that cities used to give me

           G
Way back in 1963

   Bm
But Park Square has changed
It isn't like then
G
1963 won't be here again

             Bm
So, so that I could approach excitement from a different tact

     G
Cause 1963 probably isn't
Coming back
                   Bm
So I can let the birds do what rock music did before

     G
Cause 1963 probably won't be here
Anymore
D
Well, you visit cities

G
What do you learn?

Bm
That I yearn for the past

G
I yearn

D
Well, now you're back home from the city

G
What did it lack?

    Bm
Well 1963

A                           D
It just wouldn't come back
