As I recall it, the sun was high,
Am7 D7 G
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.

You couldn't quite make out this boy,

A# Em7 A7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
D F#m
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Am7 D7 G
He looked as though he never cared
Gm D Bm7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
A# Em7 A7
Freckles from the sun.
D F#m
Many good times we have had,
Am7 D7 G
We been happy, we been sad,
Gm D Bm7
But I think we both feel glad
A# Em7 A7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
