This Will Be Our Year - The Zombies

This Will Be Our Year was written and recorded in 1967 by The Zombies for their album Odessey and Oracle. 

         A                      C#m
The warmth of your love
                   A7                 D
Is like the warmth of the sun
         F                 E7
And this will be our year
              D                 A
Took a long time to come

          A                 C#m
Don't let go of my hand
           A7               D     
Now darkness has gone
         F                E7
And this will be our year 
             D                   A
Took a long time to come

            B
And I won't forget 
       Dm                       A
The way you held me up when I was down
            B                      Dm        
And I won't forget the way you said, 
D
"Darling I love you”
E                                A
You gave me faith to go on
                   C#m                                    A7
Now we're there and we've only just begun
F                  E7
This will be our year
             D                   A
Took a long time to come

         A                      C#m
The warmth of your smile
                 A7          D
Smile for me, little one
         F                E7
And this will be our year
             D                   A
Took a long time to come

          A                 C#m
You don't have to worry
                  A7                      D     
All your worried days are  gone
         F                E7
And this will be our year 
             D                 A
Took a long time to come

            B
And I won't forget 
        Dm                      A
The way you held me up when I was down
           B                       Dm        
And I won't forget the way you said, 
D
"Darling I love you”
E                                A
You gave me faith to go on
                   C#m                  A7
Now we're there and we've only just begun
F                   E7
This will be our year
             D                  A
Took a long time to come
                A7
Yeah we only just begun
          F                E7
Yeah this will be our year
             D                  A
Took a long time to come




I love this edit with home movies filmed by the same couple between 1965 and 1979. The soundtrack coupled with super 8 makes it incredibly moving and nostalgic. The film features a young couple in love and their growing family from 1965 to the moon landing in 1969, through holidays, and every days and ending in 1979, this is an amazing record of life in those times.
