Well we’ve come a long long way

Look at everything we know

We’re getting smarter every day,

Ah but where’s it gonna go

For all the words that go by,

I’ve got a [C/E]feeling inside

That after it’s all said and [Ab/Bb]done

Though we’ve come a long long way

This old world’s not much [F/G]better than it was

Oh it’s [Bb/C]just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty

Every[Ab/Bb]day you’d get shot up all the whisky’d get bought up

We’d be dancing the night through, just waiting until

The joke’s on you, ah then what do you do

[Bb/C]Model T’s and Chevies just loaded with heavies

Shining [Ab/Bb]faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses

Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine

Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues

oo oo oo oo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo ooo oo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo ..

We’re flying space ships round the stars

Getting faster by the hour

Pretty soon we’ll be on Mars

Build another Ivory tower

Thru all the praise that you borrow

There’s still [C/E]hunger and sorrow and after it’s all said and [Ab/Bb]done

Though we’ve come a long long way

This old world’s not much [F/G]better than it was

Oh it’s [Bb/C]just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty

Every[Ab/Bb]day you’d get shot up all the whisky’d get bought up

We’d be dancing the night through, just waiting until

The joke’s on you, ah then what do you do

[Bb/C]Model T’s and Chevies just loaded with heavies

Shining [Ab/Bb]faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses

Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine

Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues

oo oo oo oo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo ooo oo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo
