[Verse 1]
G Bm
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Dm7 G7 C
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
Cm G Em7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
D# Am7 D7
He used life as a toy.
G Bm
In a Marie-Antoinette room
Dm7 G7 C
We were introduced soon,
Cm G Em7
I was me and you were you,
D# Am7 D7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Dm7 G7 C
He looked as though he never cared
Cm G Em7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
D# Am7 D7
Freckles from the sun.
G Bm
Many good times we have had,
Dm7 G7 C
We been happy, we been sad,
Cm G Em7
But I think we both feel glad
D# Am7 D7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
