verses from three commercials to date:
F#m F#m A A
You see, we got the power to turn back time
E E D D
That show you missed, let’s just go back and find
F#m F#m A A
And let’s go back and choose spicy instead of mild
B B B B B B B D D D D D
And maybe reconsider having that second child
A A E E E D
See, that's the power to turn back time
F#m F#m A A
You see, we got the power to turn back time
E E D D
So let's restart the show that started at nine
F#m F#m A A
And while we're at it, let's give you back your 'doo
B B B B B B B D D D D D D
And give her back the guy she liked before you
A A E E E D
Hey, that's the power to turn back time
F#m F#m A A
You see, we got the power to turn back time
E E D D
Let's start over, let's rewind
F#m F#m A A
And let's go back and not quit the gym
B B B B B B B D D D D D D
And have a chance to say goodbye to Grampy Tim
A A E E E D
Oh, that's the power to turn back time
- Most chords played open except the F#m on which you
can just barre the top 3 strings and the B and D
(just the D chords during the B-to-D staccato parts).
Can play them barred or open but barred is smoother.
- Can play with all down [v] strokes or alternate down
strokes with up [^] strokes as Jon does both in the
commercials.
