[Verse 1]
F Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7 F7 A#
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
A#m F Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C# Gm7 C7
He used life as a toy.
F Am
In a Marie-Antoinette room
Cm7 F7 A#
We were introduced soon,
A#m F Dm7
I was me and you were you,
C# Gm7 C7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
F Am
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Cm7 F7 A#
He looked as though he never cared
A#m F Dm7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
C# Gm7 C7
Freckles from the sun.
F Am
Many good times we have had,
Cm7 F7 A#
We been happy, we been sad,
A#m F Dm7
But I think we both feel glad
C# Gm7 C7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.

Many good times we have had,
