C

Fires were burning

F7

In our bodies and in our towns

Am

Bombs were falling

             D7

But we could not hear the sound

C                     G                     F

I remember a girl, we used to stay out so late

Am                  G                         F

She made me smile the way she touched my face           

Am                       G            F   C

I haven’t felt that way since 1968

Am                       G            F   C

I haven’t felt that way since 1968

Am                       G            F   C

I haven’t felt that way since 1968

 

 

They took my brother away

And he didn’t want to go

They took my brother

Across the ocean

And we all drove down to San Diego just to wave him goodbye

We stood on the shoreline while his ship sailed away

We waved for an hour with the sun in our eyes

We waved and we waved with the sun in our eyes

Oh Lord how we waved with the sun in our eyes

 

 

Fires are burning

In the desert towns

Bombs are rising up

But we still can’t hear the sound

When I look in your eyes I know that some things never change

And I know that I still have some promises to make

I haven’t felt that way since 1968

I haven’t felt that way since 1968

I haven’t felt that way since 1968
