Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- x2

 I saw Star Wars at least 8 times

 Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized

I've seen the stuff they put inside Stretch Armstrong, yeah

 I was Roger Staubach in my backyard

 Had a shoebox full of baseball cards

 And a couple of Evil Kenievel scars on my right arm

Well, I was a kid when Elvis died and my momma cried

Chorus 1

It was 1970 somethin' in the world that I grew up in

Farrah Fawcett hairdo days, bell bottoms and 8 track tapes

Looking back now I can see me, oh man did I look cheesy

I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Aww, it was 1970 somethin'

 It was the dawning of a new decade

We got our first microwave

Dad broke down and finally shaved them old sideburns off

 I took the stickers off my Rubix cube

 Watched MTV all afternoon

My first love was Daisy Duke in them cutoff jeans

Space shuttle fell out of the sky and the whole world cried

Chorus 2

It was 1980 somethin' in the world that I grew up in

Skating rinks and black Trans-Am's, big hair and parachute pants

Looking back now I can see me, oh man did I look cheesy

I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Aww, It was 1980 somethin'

Solo

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV

 But all this responsibilty makes me wish sometimes...

REPEAT CHORUS 2

1970 somethin' Aww, it was 19 somethin'
