(E) Bell-(B) bottoms and (A) long straight hair
(E) I can (B) still (A) see us sitting there

With (A) Creedence on the radio (B5)

(E) And I (B) recall every(A)body said (B5)
We'd (A) only last a year or so

  (A) (B) Am(C#m)erica's a tough town

(A) (B) (C#m) (B5)

I had a brother in Vietnam
So I went to see my Uncle Sam
He didn't want a family man
Carrying a gun for him
So I bought a Volkswagen bus
I painted flowers over the rust
But all that talk about peace and love
Was wearin' mighty thin

(Chorus)

(E) (E) It was the (A) age of innocence
But our innocence (E) was fading
We waited (A) for the best of times
And just kept wai(B)ting

(Solo)

In (B) nineteen sixty-(A)nine (B) (C#m)
