Intro:
F7 F#7 G7 [5X; start to fade 3rd time]
Verse:
Bb Silly bubbles effervesce F7 In the mothball smell of a beaded dress The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons BbGb7F7 The bathtub gin, hungover dawns Bb The round-framed picture, the flat straw hat F7 The long-nosed roadster at a mile a minute flat The bell-bottom pants, the fine silk vest [N.C.] Are all tucked away in her cedar chest
Chorus:
(F7) Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha F7E7F7 Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ah-ah Bb Wasn't it a bit like now F7 Huh Mom, huh Dad? Are all the memories really gone Bb Gone of the best darn times Gb9F9 I'll bet you ever had
Bb Instead of "groovy" it was "mean" And jeepers, it's wild EbEdim It just doesn't seem that different now Bb /A /AbG7 The why's are the same, it's just a question of how EbEdim Doesn't it seem a little bit like now Bb /A /AbG7 I pose this question to your arching brow C7F7Bb Huh Mom, huh Dad?
Bridge:
Bb Cosmetic progress intensifies F7 The so-cool look in my baby's eyes The far-out kids, the kicks they're on Bb [N.C.] Obsolete sins, new world's dawn
Bb Three pictures for a quarter in your Carnaby hat F7 Jet-propelled cars on the Bonneville flats Slender legs in their paisley best [N.C.] All tucked away in her mini-dress
