[Intro]
Gm D# Bb F x 2

[Verse 1]
Gm           D#                Bb       F
We bought it to help with your homework
Gm      D#       Bb      F
And the household accounts
        Cm       Bb           F
If your Dad ever works it all out

[Chorus]
Cm          Bb                 F
Hey Hey 16K what does that get you today?
Cm
You need more than that for a letter
Bb F
Old school ram packs are much better

[Verse 2]
Gm                 D#
Hanging round the library
Bb               F
Writing down the pokes and peeks
Gm     D#                Bb   F Cm
Acorn Electron's just a cheaper BBC Micro
Bb               F
Knightlore and Elite

[Chorus]
Cm          Bb                 F
Hey Hey 16K what does that get you today?
Cm
You need more than that for a letter
Bb                    F
Old school ram packs are much better

[Middle]
Cm Bb F x2

[Verse 3]
Gm            D#
These modern games you know
     Bb              F
They might look very flash
Gm                D#
But they'll never beat the thrill
   Bb                 F
Of getting through Jetpac

[Chorus]
Cm          Bb                 F
Hey Hey 16K what does that get you today?
Cm
You need more than that for a letter
Bb                    F
Old school ram packs are much better

[Outro]
Cm
Those were the days
F
Those were the days
     Cm
Next N
