"Groovy times are here a-gain."

[as above]

They discovered on Black Saturday,

That mobs don't march, they run (they run)

So you you can excuse the nervous triggerman,

for this once jumping the gun.

They were picking up the dead,

Out of the broken glass,

Yes, it's number one, hit radio says

"Groovy times are here at last."
E    G#m  A  B
Groo-oo---vy times,
E    G#m  A  B
Groo-oo---vy times,
E    G#m  A  B 
Groo-oo---vy times.

fr, end near 9th fr G string... YMMV]

[Second version of solo]
Play this on acoustic. Just listen to the song to sus out the
tempo of the solo. It's pretty fun to play.
There's a bit enclosed within stars (**-7--9--7--**) that I'm not
too sure about. If anyone can suggest a more acurate riff that
would be good.

[as verse 1]
The intake is on the uptake,
the acceleration's pretty grim.
I can remember his first appearance,
now look what's happened to him.
They put him in a dog suit,
like nineteen sixy four.
King of early evening ITV,
"Groovy times forever more."
[as chorus]
Groo-oo-vy times,
Groo-oo-vy times,
Groo-oo-vy times.
