[Verse]
F# G F# Where were you in sixty-eight, in sixty-eight Julie was Johnnie's date. G F# Two kids growin' together Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away. G F# Oooh, they were just sixteen and their love a teenage dream. G F# They passed the time, they crossed the line, the line that ran between. G A Julie and Johnnie now you've made it!
[Chorus]
D G A7 D But life goes on, you know it ain't easy. D G A7 D You've just gotta be strong if you're one of the sixteens. D G A D And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy D G You know you'll never go wrong A D 'Cause you're aaaa-aa-aa-aa-all, part of the sixteens.

[Interlude]
F# G So where were you in sixty-eight when Bobby and Billy thought that F# sixty eight was out of date. F# G They took the flowers from their hair and tried to make us all aware, F# too bad, too late. G F# So they lived from day to day and tried to do it all their way. G F# But sixty-eight was sixty-eight. No matter what they say. G A Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it, one day...
