"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]
