SIXTEENS - THE SWEET (Chinn/Chapman)
D + RIFF
F#Where were you in sixty-eight, in Gsixty-eight Julie was JF#ohnnie's date.
Two kids growin' togetherG Livin' each day as if time wasF# slippin' away.
Oh, Gthey were just sixteen and their F#love a teenage dream.
They Gpassed the time, they crossed the line, the F#line that ran between.
GJulie and Johnnie now you've mAade it!
But Dlife goes Gon, A7 you know it ain't Deasy.
You've just gotta be Gstrong A7
if you're one of the Dsixteens.
And Dlife goes Gon, you Aknow, you know it ain't Deasy
You know you'll never go Gwrong
'Cause you're aaaAa-aa-all, part of the sixtDeens.
Suzie and Davey got to make the big time, maybe they can,
put it all together, in a show that lasts forever?
Oh they would walk the strip at nights And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation boulevard they'll light the faded light
Suzie and Davey you can make it!

So where were you in sixty-eight when Bobby and Billy thought that
sixty eight was out of date.
They took the flowers from their hair and tried to make us all aware,
Too bad, too late.
So they lived from day to day and tried to do it all their way.
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight. No matter what they say.
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it, one day...
