[Verse 1]
[F]As I recall it,[Am] the sun was high,
[Cm7]Yello[F7]w in the b[Bb]lue, blue sky.
[Bbm]You couldn't quite [F]make out [Dm7]this boy,
[C#]He used life as a [Gm7]toy.[Cm7]
[F]In a Marie-[Am]Antoinette room
[Cm7]We w[F7]ere introd[Bb]uced soon,
[Bbm]I was me and y[F]ou were [Dm7]you,
[C#]How do you [Gm7]do ?[C7]
[Verse 2]
[F]Raggedy and[Am] tousle-haired
[Cm7]He l[F7]ooked as though he n[Bb]ever cared
[Bbm]To run a comb where [F]a comb shou[Dm7]ld run,
[C#]Freckles from the [Gm7]sun.[C7]
[F]Many good tim[Am]es we have had,
[Cm7]We been h[F7]appy, w[Bb]e been sad,
[Bbm]But I think we bo[F]th feel gl[Dm7]ad
[C#]That this life is [Gm7]so mad, m[C7]ad, mad.
