1959

C                           G                C
He'd Brylcream his hair and straightened his tie
        F              C                  F      G
When he walked out the door he'd kiss his mother goodbye
C                        Em
He's got the keys to his father's FJ
     F          C          G           C
He's taking out Jenny it's their first date
C                                G              C
He knocks on her door and he can hear his heart pound
    F        C                   F      G
Her father appears and looks him up and down
C                                   Em
He said 'Jen won't be long so you'd better come in'
       F            C      G              C
And he waits on the couch  flowers in his hand

        F                                   C
There's been so many changes down through the years
        G                               C
There's been so many good things left behind
        F                         C      Em       Am
You can call me sentimental but I really wouldn't mind
       C                              G  C
If you wrap me up and send me back to 1959
C                     G            C
They'd go to a dance JO'K would be there
    F             C          F           G
And she'd look so pretty ponytail in her hair
C                                 Em
He plucked up the courage to take her hand in his
     F           C             G                 C
And there on her doorstep they stole their first kiss

        F                                   C
There's been so many changes down through the years

They fell in love and they remember the night
        F         C               F         G
When he nervously asked her would you be my bride
C                                 Em
When they made that promise 'till death do us part
     F             C        G                 C
You know that they meant it straight from the heart

        F                                   C
There's been so many changes down through the years
