As I recall it, the sun was high,

Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
Ebm A# Gm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,

In a Marie-Antoinette room

We were introduced soon,
Ebm A# Gm7
I was me and you were you,
F# Cm7 F7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
A# Dm
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Fm7 A#7 Eb
He looked as though he never cared
Ebm A# Gm7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
F# Cm7 F7
Freckles from the sun.
A# Dm
Many good times we have had,
Fm7 A#7 Eb
We been happy, we been sad,
Ebm A# Gm7
But I think we both feel glad
F# Cm7 F7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
