Play this four times. Each time you hit the low G note, do the 5s7 to get back to E on
7th fret. I don’t have the solo tabbed. After the solo, hit an E, let it ring, while
“You had to be there” a few times. Then go into the chorus again, bumping the chords up
the 7th, 10th, and 12th frets. End by playing chorus normally again.
One voice trying to be heard
Round pegs living in a square world
We were strangers in a strange land
Always reaching for the upper hand
We were hard to understand
It was juvenile
It was something wild
Part of every child
Yeah, you had to be there
Rough and tough
It was peace and love
All of the above
Yeah, you had to be there
Outcasts, misfits... They're so full of it
Don't tell me it's something that you never did
You were strangers in a strange land
Always reaching for the upper hand
You were hard to understand
It was juvenile
It was something wild
Part of every child
