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

Intro:
F7 F#7 G7         (5X; start to fade 3rd time)

Bb
Verse:        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

      (F7) 
Chorus:        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?

   Bb
Bridge:        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
