1:
E B
We were 16 at the most
A
McCartney was our holy ghost
E B
and we were sure our smiles would never turn to tears
18 cought us pretty fast
legal to make love at last
something we'd been playing with for years
2:
Yeah life was great in 65
made this boy feel so alive
growing up made something go all wrong
it seemed all the ways of the world
took away from the thoughts of a pretty girl
now I wanna go back to catch up in this song
-----------------
Chorus:
C#m B
I dont want nothing heavy
A E
just my baby in the back of my chevy
C#m B
little loving on the weekends
A B
make me feel allright
C#m B
I dont want nothing heavy
A E
just my baby in the back of my chevy
C#m B A E
to kiss away my blues in the fullmoon light
------------------
So life became an conglomination
of mamas ways and a woodstock nation
I was so confused no where to turn
and then my lady got so psychodelic
no reasons left to be angelic
now I wanna kindle the flame that used to burn
