[Eb]
[D] When [G] I was
[D] [Em]
little I [Eb] had those English boys [D] who had [G] long hair.
[D] When [G] I walked
[D] [G] into my friend's [E] eyes I called them up [D] and they'd [G] be there.
In 1969 [D] I [Em]
[Eb] listened to the songs, [D] red [G] letters sent from Nong.
[D] Now peace [G] and love, [D] [G]
ideal [Em]
society.
[D] Gunned down [G] by 17, [C] we feel the same [D] to you.
Why [C] do you act the way [D] you do?
[C] A poor [D] packet here, there's no [Em] excuse.
[C]
Time [D] reversed, [C] should we wait or take [D] the ride?
And [C] we can speak with [D] one voice.
[Eb]
[E] [Em] [Eb]
[E] [Eb]
[D] We knew [G] each other, [D] [Em]
messages [Eb] passed through there.
[D] Equal [G] respect, [D] [G] cohesiveness we had.
[D] [G]
[G] One week [Em] our love's deserved, [D] said maybe [G] not.
[C] We feel the same [D] to you.
Why [C] do you act the way [D] you do?
[C]
A poor packet [D] here, there's no [Em] excuse.
[C] Could the hands of time [D] reverse?
[C] Would we wait or take [D] the ride?
[C] And we speak with [D] one voice.
[Am] [C]
[D] [Am] [C]
[D] [C]
[D] [Em]
We [C] feel the same to you.
[D] Why [C]
do you act the way you [D] do?
[C]
A poor packet [D] here, there's no [G] excuse.
