[Verse 1]
E          E6
Ooh, it is snowing,
E             E6
Outside it is snowing.
E                Abm    A                B
Somewhere on 5th Avenue I used to know a friend.
E             E6
In my bed I'm lying.
E            E6
Times I am defying.
E                       Abm
There's no well known remedy
A                   B
for all the years gone by.
 
[Chorus]
A         E
Back in 1958
   G                D/F#
We used to swing on Harry's gate.
    F                C/E
The things we did we thought were great
    B
in 1958.
A         E
Back in 1964:
   G                 D/F#
We used to knock on Harry's door.
    F                C/E
And do the things we did before
    B
In 1964.
 
[Verse 2]
E           E6
I hear some music
E                  E6
Some old-fashioned music
E                    Abm
It's played so often in my head
A              B
I don't know anymore.
E             E6
In my bed I'm lying.
E          E6
Age I am defying.
E                   Abm
I close my eyes and in my dreams
A            B
I see those days again.
 
[Chorus]
A         E
Back in 1958
   G                D/F#
We used to swing on Harry's gate.
    F                C/E
The things we did we thought were great
    B
in 1958.
A         E
Back in 1964:
   G                 D/F#
We used to knock on Harry's door.
    F                C/E
And do the things we did before
    B
In 1964.
A         E
Back in 1965
    G                  D/F#
The things we did were more alive.
   F                     C/E
We knew we'd live throughout the drive
    B
in 1965
