[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?
D# Em D# Em D# D

[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?
