                   "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]
