| G | Em | |
| Pushing through the market square, | so many mothers sighing |
| A | C | |
| News had just come over, we had | five years left to cry in |
| G | Em | |
| News guy wept and told us, | earth was really dying |
| A | C | |
| Cried so much his face was wet, and I | knew he was not lying |
| G | |
| I heard | telephones, opera house, favorite melodies |
| Em | |
| I saw | boys, toys, electric irons and TV's |
| A | |
| My | brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare |
| C | |
| I had to | cram so many things to store everything in there |
| Am | C | Am | |
| And all the fat-skinny | people, | and all the tall-short | people |
| C | G | C | D | |
| And all the nobody | people, | and all the somebody | people |
| C | |
| I never thought I'd need so many | people |
| G | Em | |
| A girl my age went off her head, | hit some tiny children |
| A | C | |
| If the black hadn't a pulled her off, I | think she would have killed them |
| G | Em | |
| A soldier with a broken arm, | his fixed stare to the wheels of a Cadillac |
| A | C | |
| A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a | queer threw up at the sight of that |
| G | Em | |
| I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor, | drinking milk shakes cold and long |
| A | C | |
| Smiling and waving and looking so fine, | don't think you knew you were in this song |
| G | |
| And it was cold, and it rained, so I felt like an actor |
| Em | |
| And I | thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there |
| A | |
| Your | face, your race, the way that you talk |
| C | |
| I | kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk |
| G | Em | |
| We got | five years, stuck on my eyes - | Five years, what a suprise |
| A | C | |
| We got | five years, my brain hurts alot - | Five years, that's all we got |
| G | |
| We got | five years... |
