Soon after the funeral procession, Still glued to the TV
One nation becoming one nation, It was 1963

We were in the seventh grade, Girls in bobbysox
It was our first school dance, Counted time to foxtrots, foxtrots

We were awkward, we were anxious, I had brillcream in my hair
The girls were tall, the boys were short, and plaid was everywhere

We smiled so shyly, Glanced into each others' eyes
No one knew what would happen, Someone put on a 45, a 45

No we didn't know what would happen, But we were feeling a kind of bliss
Some boys were singin on a record
And the tune went something like this, like this...

C,D, C, D, C, D.....,
G,D,E-,B-; G,D,E-,B-
Oh yeah, I´ll tell you something I think you´ll understand
When I say that something I wanna hold your hand
C,D,G,E-,C.D.G
I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand

Our hips started swingin, We looked in each others eyes
We smiled and started singin
Though we'd never even heard these guys
Heard these guys
Singin.. .

E-,A,C,G
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
G, E-, B-,...;
You think you've lost your love, Well I saw her yesterday
It's you she's thinking of, And she told me what to say
G, D,E-
She says she loves you, And you know that can't be bad
Cm, D
Yes she loves you, And you know you should be glad
Em; A; C, G
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can you say the next day was different? I don't know but I understand
When Ed Sullivan hosted the Beatles, there was no goin back again, back again

A-,D,G,E-; C,A-,F,D;; A-,D G, E-; C, D, G
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you, Tomorrow I’ll miss you
Remember I’ll always be true
And then while I’m away I’ll write home every day
And I’ll send all my lovin to you
E-,C,G; E-D,G
All my lovin, I will send to you
All my lovin, darlin I'll be true

The girls were screamin their heads off, The boys all wanted guitars
The world was swiftly changin,
And these songs... they were ours, they were ours

E-,D,G,E-;E-,C,G,A,G,A,G,A
And when I touch you I feel happy, inside
It´s such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide
G,D,E-,B-, ...;C,D,G,E-; C,D,CCC,G
Oh yeah you, got that something, I think you´ll understand
When I feel that something, I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand.
