Younger Generation John Sebastian (1967) I re-transcribed this because the version on here is wrong. This is a very simple song, so, so, so, great.
Why must eCvery generation think their fD7olks are square' And no mGatter where their heads are they know MComs aint there' CCause I swore when I was small that I'd remeD7mber when I kGnew whats wrong with them thatC I was smaller then.
DetCermined to remember all the cD7ardinal rules, Like sGun showers are legal grounds for cCutting school. I kCnow I have forgotten maybe oD7ne or two, And I hD7ope that I reGcall them all beCfore the baby's due, And I kD7now hell Ghave a question or tCwo.
F G C E- Like ''Hey Pop, can I go ride my Zoom' A- G C E- ''It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons. F G C E- ''And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue, A- D7 ''And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs' C G A- D7
And IG must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation.
CThen I;ll know that all Ive leD7arned my kid assumes, And aGll my deepest worries must be hCis cartoons, And sCtill Ill try to tell him D7all the things Ive done Related to what hGe can do when hCe becomes a man, And sD7till hell stickG his fingers in the faCn.
F G C E- And ''Hey, Pop, my girlfriends only three, A- G C E- ''Shes got her own videophone and shes taking L.S.D., F G C E- ''And now that were best friends she wants to give a bit to me.
''But wFhats the matterF7 Daddy, how come youre turning green' ''Can it bD7e that you cant live up Gto your dreams'
This is a GREAT song, especially if you're able to get ahold of the live woodstock version.
