Younger Generation
John Sebastian (1967)
I re-transcribed this because the version on here is wrong. This is a very simple song,
so, so, so, great.
C D7
Why must every generation think their folks are square?
G C
And no matter where their heads are they know Moms aint there?
C D7
Cause I swore when I was small that I'd remember when
G C
I knew whats wrong with them that I was smaller then.
C D7
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules,
G C
Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school.
C D7
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two,
D7 G C
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby's due,
D7 G C
And I know hell have a question or two.
F G C E-
Like ``Hey Pop, can I go ride my Zoom?
A- G C E-
``It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons.
F G C E-
``And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue,
A- D7
``And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs?
C G A- D7
G
And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation.
C D7
Then I;ll know that all Ive learned my kid assumes,
G C
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons,
C D7
And still Ill try to tell him all the things Ive done
G C
Related to what he can do when he becomes a man,
D7 G C
And still hell stick his fingers in the fan.
F G C E-
And ``Hey, Pop, my girlfriends only three,
A- G C E-
``Shes got her own videophone and shes taking L.S.D.,
F G C E-
``And now that were best friends she wants to give a bit to me.
F F7
``But whats the matter Daddy, how come youre turning green?
D7 G
``Can it be that you cant live up to your dreams?
This is a GREAT song, especially if you're able to get ahold of the live woodstock version.
