Younger Generation John Sebastian
Why must e[Cmaj7]very generation think their f[Dm7]olks are square?
And no m[G7]atter where their heads are they know M[Cmaj7]oms aint there?
[Cmaj7]Cause I swore when I was small that I'd reme[Dm7]mber when
I k[G7]new whats wrong with them that[Cmaj7] I was smaller then.
Det[Cmaj7]ermined to remember all the c[Dm7]ardinal rules,
Like s[G7]un showers are legal grounds for c[Cmaj7]utting school.
I k[Cmaj7]now I have forgotten maybe o[Dm7]ne or two,
And I h[Dm7]ope that I re[G7]call them all be[Cmaj7]fore the baby's due,
And I k[Dm7]now hell [G7]have a question or t[Cmaj7]wo.
Like ``H[F]ey P[G]op, can I[C] go ride my Z[E-]oom?
``It goes t[A-]wo hundred m[G7]iles an hour susp[C]ended on b[E-]alloons.
``And c[F]an I put a d[G]roplet of this n[C]ew stuff on my t[E-]ongue,
``And im[A-]agine frothing dragons while you s[D7]it and wreck your lungs?
And I[G] must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation.
[Cmaj7]Then I;ll know that all Ive le[Dm7]arned my kid assumes,
And a[G7]ll my deepest worries must be h[Cmaj7]is cartoons,
And s[Cmaj7]till Ill try to tell him [Dm7]all the things Ive done
Related to what h[G7]e can do when h[Cmaj7]e becomes a man,
And s[Dm7]till hell stick[G7] his fingers in the fa[Cmaj7]n.
And ``H[F]ey, P[G]op, my g[C]irlfriends only t[E-]hree,
``Shes g[A-]ot her ow[G]n videophone and[C] shes takin[E-]g L.S.D.,
``And n[F]ow that were best[G] friends she wants to[C] give a bit to[E-] me.
``But w[F]hats the matter[F7] Daddy, how come youre turning green?
``Can it b[D7]e that you cant live up [G]to your dreams?
This is a GREAT song, especially if you're able to get ahold of the live woodstock version.
