[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
 Many years from now, 
              D7          B7            Em
When your grandchildren climb upon your knee,
    Gm                          D
You may be quite astonished to see...
              E7                           A
...How many channels they can change on T. V.
      A7       D                Dmaj7          D7
When some old film in black and white ...comes on,
              B7             Em
And there you are upon the screen,
           Gm                              D
Or is it someone just like someone you've been,
        E7                      A
Looking not a day over nine - teen?

[Verse 2]
   G              Gm
"Grandad!", the little ones are asking you,
  D         F#m      Bm       D/A
"Why do you look so sad?" (So sad!)
        E7
So you tell them all about the fun you had!

[Verse 3]
 D      Aaug                 D     D7
Back in '64 before you were born,
 B7             B        B7     Em
People had no time for pouring scorn...
                A                  A7
         ...On dreams of love and peace,
(...Or scoring porn!)

D                  E           E7           A
No one was obese, only tight trousers were worn!

[Verse 4]
  D      Aaug                     D     D7
Back in '64 we were at it like knives,
  G                          F#         G              Bdim
Back in '64 the time of our lives...was in the present tense!
          D                B7
Now does that make common sense,
     E7                    A7                   D
Any more than girls with hairdos called bee - hives?
                           Aaug
(Zumm, zumm, zumm, zumm!)

[Verse 5]
 D       Aaug                D     D7
Back in '64 before you were born,
 G                           F#
Back in '64 before you were born,
        G                Bdim         D           B7
But as you've gone on and on, your audience has flown,
     E7
And, as you find yourself all on your own...

[Verse 6]
Aaug       D            Dmaj7
 You may wistfully re - call...
          D7            B7
...How Benjamin Dis - raeli said that,
Em                              Gm
  ..."Life is too short to be small!"
             D                  Dmaj7  D7           B7
Or maybe,...like some old -time song, over all it's long,
       Em7       A7             D     Dm7-5   Bb    D
So, ...so long,   ...it's all over!
