                 "Wasn't It A Bit Like Now (Parallel '23)"

                              (Terry Kirkman)

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

     Bb          Gb7       F7

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

                F7 E7 F7

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

     Gb9          F9

I'll bet you ever had

             Bb

Instead of "groovy" it was "mean"

And jeepers, it's wild

Eb                        Edim

It just doesn't seem that different now

    Bb             /A        /Ab     G7

The why's are the same, it's just a question of how

Eb                      Edim

Doesn't it seem a little bit like now

   Bb        /A     /Ab       G7

I pose this question to your arching brow

    C7  F7     Bb

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

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro to fade]
