And the [A]class of '57 had its [E]dreams,
Oh, [C#m]we all thought we'd change the world with [F#]our great works and[B7] deeds.
Or [A]maybe we just thought the world would [E]change to [G#m]fit our [C#m]needs,

[F]John is big in [Am]cattle, [Dm]Ray is deep in[F7] debt,
[Bb]Where Mavis finally wound up is [G]anybody's bet.
[F]Linda married [Am]Sonny, [Dm]Brenda married [F7]me,
And the [Bb]class of all of us is [C7]just a part of [F]history.
(Repeat Chorus)
