Move Capo to 3 – Same chord progression

Charlie took a job at Ford, Joe took Freddie’s wife
Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddie took his life
Johnny’s big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt
Where Mavis finally would up is anybodies guess
Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me
And the class of all of us are just part of history

Chorus 2:
And the class of ’57 had its dreams
But livin’ life day to day is never like it seems
Things get complicated when you get past 18
The class of ’57 had its dreams
Aw, the class of ’57 had it’s dreams
