Wasnt It A Bit Like Now

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

        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

        All tucked away in her mini-dress
