A D A Bm
V1 Oh Michael, all the lines are down, its Australia Day weekend
D A F#m
Everytime the wheel slows down, I think of all my friends
D A
Whatever happened to the days way back
F#m D
When the Bondi Lifesaver was always raging
D A F#m
Standing here in Oxford St, & the ghosts are howling
D E
& jeez its raining...
CHORUS -----
A Amaj7
I say don't waste time...
C#m7 Bm7 (...D)
These are the best years of our lives ---> (X2)
V2 I wish I had been around, when the Bondi Icebergs reigned
Sometimes I sit and think of it, and I dream of better days
Whatever happened to the days way back
In the 1930's all those endless parties
I'm still too young to understand, how it was back then
When the party ends...
CHORUS
SOLO (8 BARS)...
V3 They say the circle turns around, there'll be better days
And I don't mind waiting
I wish time stopped 10 years ago, but I'm learning slow
Life is always changing...
CHORUS ... (D - E...)
V4 I got a letter from Dr Pepper, 10,000 words to a page
He was talking about Gurdjieff, and I dozed off about half way
Whatever happened to the days way back
When the world was safe, and it seemed worth saving
We search for leaders on our hands & knees
But don't ask Davy, 'cos he's still crazy...
CHORUS (...E)
CHORUS
