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

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          F#7       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

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
	     F#9          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
	    [N.C.]
	All tucked away in her mini-dress

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro to fade]
