As I recall it, the sun was high,
G#m7 C#7 Gb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.

You couldn't quite make out this boy,
A D#m7 G#7
He used life as a toy.

In a Marie-Antoinette room

We were introduced soon,
Gbm C# A#m7
I was me and you were you,
A D#m7 G#7
How do you do ?

C# Fm
Raggedy and tousle-haired
G#m7 C#7 Gb
He looked as though he never cared
Gbm C# A#m7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
A D#m7 G#7
Freckles from the sun.
C# Fm
Many good times we have had,
G#m7 C#7 Gb
We been happy, we been sad,
Gbm C# A#m7
But I think we both feel glad
A D#m7 G#7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
