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

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 bathtub gin, 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:

	     ()
	Ah-ha-ha   Ah-ha-ha
	                  
	Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha  ha-ah-ah
	                     
	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 bet you ever had

	             
	Instead of "groovy" it was "mean"
	And jeepers, it's wild
	                        
	It just doesn't seem that different now
	                 /        /     
	The why's are the same, it's just a question of how
	                      
	Doesn't it seem a little bit like now
	           /     /       
	I pose this question to your arching brow
	           
	Huh Mom,   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]

	[repeat intro to fade]
