Standard (EADGBE)

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 feeling inside

 That after it's all said and done

Though we've come a long long way

 This old world's not much better than it was

 Oh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty

 Everyday 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

Model T's and Chevies just loaded with heavies

 Shining 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 ..

Guitar solo

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 hunger and sorrow and after it's all said and done

Though we've come a long long way

 This old world's not much better than it was

 Oh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty

 Everyday 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

Model T's and Chevies just loaded with heavies

 Shining 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

repeat and fade
