Intro
F7 F#7 G7 [5X; start to fade 3rd time]
Verse:
SIb
Silly bubbles effervesce
FA7
In the mothball smell of a beaded dress
The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons
SIb FA#7 FA7
The bathtub gin, hungover dawns
SIb
The round-framed picture, the flat straw hat
FA7
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
FA7 MI7 FA7
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ah-ah
SIb
Wasn't it a bit like now
FA7
Huh Mom, huh Dad?
Are all the memories really gone
SIb
Gone of the best darn times
FA#9 FA9
I'll bet you ever had
SIb
Instead of "groovy" it was "mean"
And jeepers, it's wild
MIb MIdim
It just doesn't seem that different now
SIb /LA /SOL# SOL7
The why's are the same, it's just a question of how
MIb MIdim
Doesn't it seem a little bit like now
SIb /LA /SOL# SOL7
I pose this question to your arching brow
DO7 FA7 SIb
Huh Mom, huh Dad?
Bridge:
SIb
Cosmetic progress intensifies
FA7
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
SIb
Three pictures for a quarter in your Carnaby hat
FA7
Jet-propelled cars on the Bonneville flats
Slender legs in their paisley best
[N.C.]
All tucked away in her mini-dress
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro to fade]
