Dm                 Em        F             Em
Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
     Dm               Em                F             Em
The times they are a telling, and the changing isn't free
       Dm             Em                    F           Dm
You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV
   A#       C      Dm
Beware the savage jaw
    A#       C      Dm
Of nineteen eighty four

They'll split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care
You'll be shooting up on anything,
tomorrow's neverthere
Beware the savage jaw of 1984

Chorus:
     Am        A#     D#     G#
Come see, come see, remember me
    F#                      D#sus4 D#
We played out an all night movie  role
    G#                        F#
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
    A#m             F
In nineteen eighty four
 C#              D#
nineteen eighty four

I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65
Beware the savage jaw of 1984

Chorus



Dm               F
Nineteen eighty four
Dm               F
Nineteen eighty four
Dm               F
Nineteen eighty four
Dm               F
Nineteen eighty four
Dm               F
Nineteen eighty four
Dm               F   Dm
Nineteen eighty four
