<< Back to The Monkees Song List
Version 1
lyrics from reprint of 1966 sheet music
C F G7sus G7
When the world and I were young just yesterday.
C F G G7
Life was such a simple game a child could play.
F G7 C
It was easy then to tell
G
Right from wrong
Am
Easy then to tell
Em
Weak from strong,
F C Am
When a man should stand and fight
Dm Em F6 G
Or just go along.
F C Am
But today there is no day or night
Dm G7 C
Today there is no dark or light
F G Am G F
Today there is no black or white
C F G7sus G7
Only shades of gray.
C F G7sus G7
I remember when the answers seemed so clear,
C F G G7
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear
F G7 C
It was easy then to tell
G
Truth from lies
Am
Selling out
Em
From compromise
F C Am
Who to love and who to hate
Dm Em F6
The foolish from the wise.
F C Am
But today there is no day or night
Dm G7 C
Today there is no dark or light
F G Am G F
Today there is no black or white
C F G7sus G7
Only shades of gray.
C
It was easy then to know
G
What was fair
Am
When to keep
Em
And when to share
F C Am
How much to protect your heart
Dm Em F6
And how much to care.
F C Am
But today there is no day or night
Dm G7 C
Today there is no dark or light
F G Am G F
Today there is no black or white
C F G7sus G7
Only shades of gray.
