Am F7
Back then, long time ago when grass was green
Am Am/B C D7 B C Am F#dim G#dim
woke up in a daze arrived like strangers in the night
Bb9-5 C C/B
fab, long time ago when we was fab,
Bb7 F C F G
fab, back when income tax was all we had.
Am F7
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light,
Am Am/B C D7 B C Am F#dim G#dim
casualties at dawn, and we did it all.
Bb9-5 C
Fab, long time ago when we was fab,
Bb7 F C
fab, you're my world you are my only love.
F Dm G
And while you're in this world
F Dm G C
the fuzz gonna come and claim you
F Dm G
but you're more better wise
F Dm G C
when the buzz gonna come and take you away,
Cm Fm C Cm F Ab6 C F G
take you away, take you away.
Am F7
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Am Am/B C D7 B C Am F#dim G#dim
studied warts and all, still the life flowed on and on
Bb9-5 C C/B
fab, long time ago when we was fab,
Bb7 F C
fab, but it's all over now, baby blue,
Bb9-5 C C/B
fab, long time ago when we was fab,
Bb7 F C
fab, like this pullover you sent to me.
Bb9-5 C C/B
Fab,
Bb7 F C
and you really got a hold on me.
Fab, long time ago when we was fab.
