F7 F#7 G7 [5X; start to fade 3rd time]
Verse:
Silly bubbles effervesce
F7In the mothball smell of a beaded dress
The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons
Bb F#7 F7The bathtub gin, hungover dawns
Bb
The round-framed picture, the flat straw hat
F7The 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
Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha
F7 E7 F7Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ah-ah
BbWasn't it a bit like now
Huh Mom, huh Dad?
Are all the memories really gone
Gone of the best darn times
F#9 F9I'll bet you ever had
Bb
Instead of "groovy" it was "mean"
And jeepers, it's wild
Eb EdimIt just doesn't seem that different now
Bb /A /G# G7The why's are the same, it's just a question of how
Doesn't it seem a little bit like now
Bb /A /G# G7I pose this question to your arching brow
C7 F7 BbHuh Mom, huh Dad?
Bridge:
Cosmetic progress intensifies
F7The 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
F7Jet-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]
