The Monkees foi um grupo de rock dos Estados Unidos formado por David Jones (voz e percussão), Micky Dolenz (voz e bateria), Peter Tork (baixo, teclado e voz) e Mike Nesmith (voz e guitarra).
O grupo foi criado em 1965 pela rede americana NBC para rivalizar com o grupo inglês The Beatles. Para escolher os futuros astros, os produtores colocaram no jornal um classificado pedindo "quatro loucos entre 17 e 21 anos", o que resultou no aparecimento de 437 candidatos.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

#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.
