F# Fm
pushing thruʼ the market square
D#m B
so many mother sighing
G#
News had just come over
B F# G#m
We had five years left ti cry in

News guy wept and told us
earth eas really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet
Then i knew he was not lying.

F# G#m F#
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
A#m D#m
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.Vʼs
G#
My brain hurt like a ware house, it had no room to spare
B
I had to cram so many things to store evʼry thing in there
G#m
And all the fat skinny people
B G#m
And all the tall short people
B F# G#m F#
And all the nobody people
B F# G#m C#7
And all the somebody people
G#m B F# G#m
I never thought iʼd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black had not puled her off
I think she would have killed them

A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his state to the wheels of a Cadilac
A cop Knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at at the sight of that

F# Fm
I think i saw you in an ice cream parlour
D#m
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
G#
smiling and waving and looking so fine
B
Donʼt think you knew you were in this song

F# G#m F#
And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
Fm D#m
And i thoought of Ma, and i wanted to get back there
G#
Your face, Your race, the way that you talk
B F# G#m
I kiss you, youʼre beautifull, I want you to walk. we got

F# A#m
[[: five years stuck on my eyes
D#m
five years what a surprise we got
G#
five years my brain hurts a lot
B
five years thatʼs all we got weʼve got
