Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Cmaj7/G: 332000
Cmaj7/G Dm7
Why must every generation think their folks are square?
G G7 Cmaj7/G
And no matter where their heads are they know Moms aint there?
Cmaj7/G Dm7
Cause I swore when I was small that I'd remember when
G G7 Cmaj7/G
I knew what was wrong with them I was smaller then.
Cmaj7/G Dm7
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules,
G G7 Cmaj7/G
Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school.
Cmaj7/G Dm7
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two,
G G7 Cmaj7/G
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby's due,
Dm7 G C
And I know hell have a question or two.
F G C Am
Like "Hey Pop, can I go ride my Zoom?
Dm G C Am
It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons.
F G C Am
And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue,
Dm7 G Dm7 F
And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs?"
Cmaj7/G F7 Dm7 G7
And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation.
Cmaj7/G Dm7
Then I'll know that all I've learned my kid assumes,
G G7 Cmaj7/G
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons,
Cmaj7/G Dm7
And still I'll try to tell him all the things I've done
G G7 Cmaj7/G
Related to what he can do when he becomes a man,
Dm7 G C
And still he'll stick his fingers in the fan.
F G C Am
And "Hey, Pop, my girlfriends only three,
Dm7 G C Am
Shes got her own videophone and shes taking LSD,
F G C Am
And now that were best friends she wants to give a bit to me.
F G F G
But whats the matter Daddy, how come youre turning green?
Dm7 G
Can it be that you cant live up to your dreams?"
