G5                          F#5
 pushing thru' the market square
E5  C5
 so many mother sighing
A5
 News had just come over
      C5                    G5 A5
 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.

 G5 A5       G5
 I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
   B5  E5
 I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V's
    A5
 My brain hurt like a ware house, it had no room to spare
         C5
 I had to cram so many things to store ev'ry thing in there
             A5
 And all the fat skinny people
C5                  A5
 And all the tall short people
C5             G5  A5 G5
 And all the nobody  people
C5             G5  A5 D5
 And all the somebody  people
                          A5         C5      G5 A5
 I never thought i'd 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

G5                                F#5
 I think i saw you in an ice cream parlour
E5
 Drinking milkshakes cold and long
A5
 smiling and waving and looking so fine
C5
 Don't think you knew you were in this song

     G5      A5  G5
 And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
 F#5   E5
 And i thoought of Ma, and i wanted to get back there
      A5
 Your face, Your race, the way that you talk
   C5                                        G5  A5
 I kiss you, you're beautifull, I want you to walk. we got

G5                    B5
five years stuck on my eyes
E5
five years what a surprise we got
A5
five years my brain hurts a lot
C5
five years that's all we got we've got
