Wasn`t It A Bit Like Now (Parallel `23)
(Terry Kirkman)

Intro:

F7 F7 G7 [5X; start to fade 3rd time]

Verse:

Bb
Silly bubbles effervesce
F7
In the mothball smell of a beaded dress
The Oh, you kids, 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]
