F           Dm   Bb          C
If I had one wish, it would be this
  F               Dm   Bb                 C
To turn back the years, to moments like this

Elvis and Marilyn were the king and queen
  F         Dm          Bb         C
Who could forget that rebel, James Dean
 F         Dm       Bb         C       F
Oh how I wish, we could turn back the years
  Bb             F        C

Mr Dick Clark
Bb         C           F          C      Dm      C
He won our hearts with Bandstand every Saturday
Bb         C     F    C     Dm      C
And still today, just like yesterday
G                  C
Bandstand is still number one

The 50's they was America's best

From shaking Elvis to Mr Pat Boone and his white bucks

And she bounced
  Dm                  Bb                         C
To the greatest actor who ever walked on planet earth

Bar none, my friend James Dean will never ever be forgotten
