The Six Teens The Sweet
SIXTEENS - THE SWEET (Chinn/Chapman)
D + RIFF
[F#]Where were you in sixty-eight, in [G]sixty-eight Julie was J[F#]ohnnie's date.
Two kids growin' together[G] Livin' each day as if time was[F#] slippin' away.
Oh, [G]they were just sixteen and their [F#]love a teenage dream.
They [G]passed the time, they crossed the line, the [F#]line that ran between.
[G]Julie and Johnnie now you've m[A]ade it!
But [D]life goes [G]on, [A7] you know it ain't [D]easy.
You've just gotta be [G]strong [A7]
if you're one of the [D]sixteens.
And [D]life goes [G]on, you [A]know, you know it ain't [D]easy
You know you'll never go [G]wrong
'Cause you're aaa[A]a-aa-all, part of the sixt[D]eens.
Suzie and Davey got to make the big time, maybe they can,
put it all together, in a show that lasts forever?
Oh they would walk the strip at nights And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation boulevard they'll light the faded light
Suzie and Davey you can make it!
Chorus
Solo

[B] [A] [G]
So where were you in sixty-eight when Bobby and Billy thought that
sixty eight was out of date.
They took the flowers from their hair and tried to make us all aware,
Too bad, too late.
So they lived from day to day and tried to do it all their way.
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight. No matter what they say.
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it, one day...
Chorus x2 + fade away
