[AM7]How 'bout a tear
for the [G#m7]year of 1960
[F#m7]I watched the fins
of the [E]Cadillac [E7]fall
[AM7]I remember Dad ex[G#m7]plained
about the Berlin [D]Wall[A][-][E]
[AM7]How 'bout a tear
for the [G#m7]torment and the trouble
[F#m7]That was brewing in the [E]Asian [E7]way
[AM7]I wore a smile
like the [G#m7]faces that surround [D]L.A.[A][-][E]
[D]In the city of the [Ddim]lost and found
[C#m7]It's hard to get a [F#m7]break[F#m][-][E]
[D]Hard to stop from getting [Ddim]turned around
[C#m7]And make the same mis[F#7]takes
[A]My reputation's [E/G#]on the line
[F#m7]The final day of '[E]59[F#m7][-][E/G#]
[A]But like the sun, just [E/G#]watch me shine
To[D]day[A-E]
[AM7]How 'bout a cheer for the [G#m7]piano virtuoso
[F#m7]I practiced 61 [E]minutes a [E7]day
[AM7]I could never reach the [G#m7]keys
But it was all [D]OK[A-E]
[AM7]How 'bout a cheer for the [G#m7]humor in my brother
[F#m7]That could brighten up the d[E]arkest [E7]nights
[AM7]It's just another sign of [G#m7]love
Whenever we would [D]fight[A][-][E]
[D]It's all the same twenty [Ddim]years ago
[C#m7]As it is right[F#m7] now[F#m-E]
[D]Like a tour at the [Ddim]closing show
[C#m7]When I take my [F#7]bow
[A]My reputation's [E/G#]on the line
[F#m7]At the start of '7[E]9[F#m7][-][E/G#]
