Wasnt It A Bit Like Now Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

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 baF♯7thtub gin, F7 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

F7 E7 F7

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 beF9 t you ever had

Instead of "groovy" it was "mean"

And jeepers, it's wild

It just doesn't seemEdim that different now

A♯

A

TG7 he why's are the same, it's just a question of how

Doesn't it seem a Edim little bit like now

A♯

A

I pG7 ose this question to your arching brow

Huh MoA♯ m, 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]
