B C#m7 B/D# (or notes B C# E)
[Verse 1]
E G#m
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Bm7 E7 A
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
Am E C#m7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C F#m7 B7
He used life as a toy.
E G#m
In a Marie-Antoinette room
Bm7 E7 A
We were introduced soon,
Am E C#m7
I was me and you were you,
C F#m7 B7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
E G#m
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Bm7 E7 A
He looked as though he never cared
Am E C#m7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
C F#m7 B7
Freckles from the sun.
E G#m
Many good times we have had,
Bm7 E7 A
We been happy, we been sad,
Am E C#m7
But I think we both feel glad
C F#m7 B7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.

He used life as a toy.

Many good times we have had,

We been happy, baby, we been sad,
