The Monkees fue una banda de rock creada artificialmente para un programa de televisión y que tuvo bastante éxito en la década de los 60. Como curiosidad, sólo uno de sus integrantes era músico; el resto aprendió a tocar durante la producción del programa.
Sus integrantes, tres de ellos originarios de Los Angeles, USA, y uno de Manchester, Inglaterra, eran Davy Jones (voz y percusión), Michael Nesmith (voz y guitarra) Peter Tork (teclado, bajo y voz) y Micky Dolenz (voz y batería).
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

#1. CEmFG When the world and I were young, just yesterday. CEmFG Life was such a simple game, a child could play. CG It was easy then to tell right from wrong. AmEm Easy then to tell weak from strong. FCAmDmEmF When a man should stand and fight, or just go along.
CHORUS: GFGCAm But today there is no day or night. FGC Today there is no dark or light. FGCFCG Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray.
#2. CEmFG I remember when the answers seemed so clear. CBbFG We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear. CGAm It was easy then to tell truth from lies..selling out Em from compromise. FCAmDmEmF Who to love and who to hate, the foolish from the wise.
CHORUS: GFGCAm But today there is no day or night. FGC Today there is no dark or light. FGCFCG Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray.
INTERLUDE: CF G..C FG
#3. CGAm It was easy then to know what was fair, when to keep Em and when to share. FCAmDmEmF How much to protect your heart and how much to care.
CHORUS: GFGCAm But today there is no day or night. FGC Today there is no dark or light. FGCFCG Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray.
