Chorus:
GD
And the class of ?57 had its dreams
BmE7A
We all thought we?d change the world with our great work and deeds
GDBm
Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs
GAD
The class of ?57 had its dreams
Move Capo to 3 ? Same chord progression
Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware
Randy on an insane ward, Mary?s on welfare
Charlie took a job at Ford, Joe took Freddie?s wife
Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddie took his life
Johnny?s big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt
Where Mavis finally would up is anybodies guess
Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me
And the class of all of us are just part of history
Chorus 2:
And the class of ?57 had its dreams
But livin? life day to day is never like it seems
Things get complicated when you get past 18
The class of ?57 had its dreams
Aw, the class of ?57 had it?s dreams
