Verse 1:

FF              A minorAm
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7Cm7  F7F7        Bb majorBb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
BbmBbm                FF        Dm7Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C#C#                Gm7Gm7  Cm7Cm7
He used life as a toy.
FF          A minorAm
In a Marie-Antoinette room
Cm7Cm7 F7F7        Bb majorBb
We were introduced soon,
BbmBbm           FF       Dm7Dm7
I was me and you were you,
C#C#         Gm7Gm7  C7C7
How do you do ?


Verse 2:

FF          A minorAm
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Cm7Cm7 F7F7                  Bb majorBb
He looked as though he never cared
BbmBbm                 FF          Dm7Dm7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
C#C#                Gm7Gm7  C7C7
Freckles from the sun.
FF            A minorAm
Many good times we have had,
Cm7Cm7      F7F7     Bb majorBb
We been happy, we been sad,
BbmBbm              FF         Dm7Dm7
But I think we both feel glad
C#C#                Gm7Gm7      C7C7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
