 G                C             Fmaj7
Seems like yesterday we were sixteen
G            C                   Fmaj7
We were the rebels of the rebel scene
G            C             Fmaj7
He wore Doc Martens in the sun
  G               C           Fmaj7
Drinking vintage cider having fun
          G               C           Fmaj7
We were drinking vintage cider having fun

Chorus:
          G    Am           F
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all
          G    Am F
It wasn't often
          G    Am           F
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all
          G    Am F
It wasn't often

We wore Doc Martens in the snow
(We will never go)
Paint our toe-nails black and let our hair grow
(We will never grow)
What I am now's what I was then
(We will never know)
I am not more acceptable than them
But, I am not more acceptable than them

Chorus

It wasn't often. - x8

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen
We were the rebels of the rebel scene
