D
Hi everyone, this Is 1963 by Jonathan Richman
D
Well, you moved out from the city

How come out there?
G
For a calm, for a calm

That I recall from somewhere
Bm
So I could smell the plain old wind

Without fabric softener blent in
G
So I could see a landscape without a fence

So I could hear that loud silence
D
All right now you're away from the city

Why did you go?
G
I think I know, I think I know
Bm
To get the feelin' that cities used to give me
G
Way back in 1963
Bm
But Park Square has changed

It isn't like then
G
1963 won't be here again
Bm
So, so that I could approach excitement from a different tact
G
Cause 1963 probably isn't
Coming back
Bm
So I can let the birds do what rock music did before
G
Cause 1963 probably won't be here
Anymore
D
Well, you visit cities
G
What do you learn?
Bm
That I yearn for the past
G
I yearn
D
Well, now you're back home from the city
G
What did it lack?
Bm
Well 1963
A D
It just wouldn't come back
