1960
Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1979
Intro : E A/E E A/E
AM7
How 'bout a tear
G#m7
for the year of 1960
F#m7
I watched the fins
E E7
of the Cadillac fall
AM7 G#m7
I remember Dad explained
D A - E
about the Berlin Wall
AM7
How 'bout a tear
G#m7
for the torment and the trouble
F#m7 E E7
That was brewing in the Asian way
AM7
I wore a smile
G#m7 D A - E
like the faces that surround L.A.
D Ddim
In the city of the lost and found
C#m7 F#m7 F#m - E
It's hard to get a break
D Ddim
Hard to stop from getting turned around
C#m7 F#7
And make the same mistakes
A E/G#
My reputation's on the line
F#m7 E F#m7 - E/G#
The final day of '59
A E/G#
But like the sun, just watch me shine
D A-E
Today
AM7 G#m7
How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
F#m7 E E7
I practiced 61 minutes a day
AM7 G#m7
I could never reach the keys
D A-E
But it was all OK
AM7 G#m7
How 'bout a cheer for the humor in my brother
F#m7 E E7
That could brighten up the darkest nights
AM7 G#m7
It's just another sign of love
D A - E
Whenever we would fight
