"Wasn t It A Bit Like Now (Parallel 23)"
(Terry Kirkman)
Intro:
F7 F#7 G7 [5X; start to fade 3rd time]
Verse:
Silly bubbles effervesce
In the mothball smell of a beaded dress
The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons
The bathtub gin, hungover dawns
The round-framed picture, the flat straw hat
The long-nosed roadster at a mile a minute flat
The bell-bottom pants, the fine silk vest
[N..]
Are all tucked away in her cedar chest
Chorus:
()
Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ah-ah
Wasn t it a bit like now
Huh Mom, huh Dad?
Are all the memories really gone
Gone of the best darn times
I ll bet you ever had
Instead of "groovy" it was "mean"
And jeepers, it s wild
It just doesn t seem that different now
/ /
The why s are the same, it s just a question of how
Doesn t it seem a little bit like now
/ /
I pose this question to your arching brow
Huh Mom, huh Dad?
Bridge:
Cosmetic progress intensifies
The so-cool look in my baby s eyes
The far-out kids, the kicks they re on
[N..]
Obsolete sins, new world s dawn
Three pictures for a quarter in your Carnaby hat
Jet-propelled cars on the Bonneville flats
Slender legs in their paisley best
[N..]
All tucked away in her mini-dress
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro to fade]
