(D minor) Mmm mmm mmm mmm (C major) (G major)

(D minor) (G major) (F major) (G major)
When (C major) Maul, she collected
All those (D minor) green shield stamps
I (F major) opened my eyes to the future
And I slowly (G major) took a glance
We moved (C major) up to Solihull
In early (D minor) 64
Dad (F major) took a job in Birmingham
And Ed, Vic and me, (G major) we went to school
In Thun (C major) derbird, Somerset
At least once (D minor) every week
Jackie Paddle (F major) and Mick McManus
on Saturday after (G major) noon TV
When Mo (C major) m, she saved up
all those (D minor) Green Shield stamps
Your (F major) wicker swimming down
Shooter (G major) Grange banks
Up (C major) to the lighthouse
on those hot (D minor) summer days
(F major) Ride our bikes, up and down (G major) Whitney Lane
Mr. (C major) Wilkes, he was our foremaster
And Steve and I (D minor) were in P .B.
Captain Johns (F major) and Charles Hamilton
They wrote the book (G major) s I love to read
So I'll (C major) raise a glass
to all the friend (D minor) s of my youth
You (F major) may not remember,
but I'm think (G major) ing of you
Yes, I know, (C major) I know, I know
Life has drif (D minor) ted us apart
But (F major) those days will always stay

When Sidney Carter (F major) came to school

Things (C major) were turning on their heels
as quickly (D minor) as a smile
When (F major) I first heard Jeepster,

When Radio (C major) 1 was still 247,
Top of the Pops (D minor) followed every craze
How (F major) I loved those glam (G major) rock days

Oh, (C major) Pete Higgins,

I'll just raise (C major) a glass
To all (D minor) the friends of my youth
You (F major) may not remember me
But I'm here and I'm think (G major) ing of you
Close your eye (C major) s, just for a second
And slowly, (D minor) whisper thanks
For those (F major) teenage years
