19 Somethinv2

Acoustic Version

Standard Tuning

Capo II

This is how he plays it on the acoustic as near as I can tell.

Note:

The Asus2 basically starts as an Asus2 then a hammer on string 2, fret 2

(C#)which makes it an A, but I wrote it as an Asus2 to differentiate it from the

pure A chords. Hope that makes sense

VERSE 1:

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

VERSE 2:

I was Roger Staubach in my backyard

Had a shoebox full of baseball cards

And a couple of Evel Kenievel scars on my right arm

PRE-CHORUS 1:

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'

VERSE 2:

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 Rubik's Cube

Watched MTV all afternoon

My first love was Daisy Duke in them cutoff jeans

PRE-CHORUS 2:

The 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-Ams, 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'

BRIDGE:

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV

But all this responsibility makes me wish sometimes...

1970-somethin'

Aww, it was 19 somethin'
