[Verse]
E               G#m        C#m            E7
Tommy's selling used cars, Nancy's fixing hair,
A                               F#
Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care.
E              G#m                 C#m
Jerry drives a truck for Sears and Charlotte's on the make,
    A                            B7               E
And Paul sells life insurance and part time real estate.
 
E          G#m      C#m                E7
Helen is a hostess, Frank works at the mill,

And Peggy plays organ at the Presbyterian Church.
 
 
[Chorus]
        A                    E
And the class of '57 had its dreams,
    C#m                                       F#                 B7
Oh, we all thought we'd change the world with our great works and deeds.
   A                                     E          G#m       C#m
Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs,
    A         B7           E      F
The class of '57 had its dreams.
 
 
F            Am            Dm        F7
Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware,
Bb                         G
Randy's on an insane ward, Mary's on welfare.
F              Am             Dm                 F7
Charlie took a job with Ford, Joe took Freddie's wife,
Bb                                C7               F
Charlotte took a millionaire, and Freddie took his life.
 
 
F              Am      Dm            F7
John is big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt,
Bb                              G
Where Mavis finally wound up is anybody's bet.
F             Am     Dm             F7
Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me,
        Bb                    C7             F
And the class of all of us is just a part of history.
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
