Akkoorden in dit liedje

D                            G                  A
 I can still remember when I bought my first guitar,
         D                                   G             A
Remember just how good the feeling to put it proudly in my car,
       D7                                B7            Em
And my fam'ly listened fifty times to my two song repertoire.
                               G          A
I told my mom her only son was gonna be a star.
D                                  G                 A
 Bought all the Beatles records, I sounded just like Paul,
  D                                G        A
I bought all the old Chuck Berry's 78's and all
  D7                              B7              Em
I sat by my record player playing ev'ry note they played.
                                G     A         D
I watched them all on TV making ev'ry move they made.

D                                 G
Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life
        A                             G              D
All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moonlit summer nights.
                                      G
I was so busy in the backroom writing love songs to you
               A                           G          D
While you were changing your direction and never even knew 
           A           G          D
That I was always just one step behind you.

D                               G            A
 '66 seemed like the year I was really going somewhere;
        D                            G              A
We were living in San Francisco with flowers in our hair,
D7                                 B7               Em
