Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
What is up?
Things sure are different
Eb
than when I was a pup.
Five dollar hot dogs,
strange fancy beers,
young skinny boys with their pants
Ebm
below their rears,
Db
Gb
young pretty girls who cov
Db
Gb
Ebm
er up their hair,
bearded lumberjacks
Db
Fm
everywhere.
Nowadays things aren't
what they used to be.
Eb
You don't see all the things
you used to see.
This wasn't what the place was meant to be.
Ebm
Eb

I feel like I'm living in another century.
Eb
Db
Gb

Not sure if it's a new or an old one.
Ebm
A modest or a bold one.
B
Abm
Maybe I'll move to that
Bbm
Ebm
place on the shore.
Bbm
Ab
Ebm
Not sure I can take this place anymore.
Fm
But I'm not sure about the
sound of the sea
Cm
That's the kind of thing
that could really get to me
Fm
Call me a curmudgeon,
call me a nuisance
When I was a boy,
Eb
a hot dog cost a few cents
A jar of pickles cost a dollar and a half
Bbm
Eb
Now I see a jar for ten,
don't make me laugh
Db
Gb
What did you say?
Db
Gb
It's artisanal?
Db
Ebm
What does that mean?
It's medicinal?
Eb
Fm
When I was a young man
there were like three beers,
now there are breweries
Eb
coming out your ears.
Every bar I step into has another
Db
Ebm
micro -brew.
Db

Hearty lager, frothy ale,

Maybe I should go down

All the people down there,

they don't know how to eat
Ab
Eb
Ab
An d what's with those kids
and the crazy things they wear?
with scarves on their hair
Fm
Don't they know that's
their prettiest part?
Eb
The best way to reach a
young man's heart
Ab
And these boys on skateboards
with hats and sunglasses
Eb
Loose -fitting jeans
that sag below their asses
Fm
I can't think of nothing more obnoxious
Eb
Than the sight of a teen
Cm
Eb
ager's boxers
B
Abm
Maybe I'll stay with my
Bbm
Ebm
son on Long Island
Db
Ab
Gb
Ebm
There at least the streets are silent
Fm
But what would I do?
Fm
It's too quiet there,
Fm
Now don't get me started
on the guys with bushy beards
Eb
That's a look that I find a little weird
Every guy's a mix
Bbm
of Paul Bunyan and Walt Whitman
Eb
It's enough to make me
want to call a hitman
Db
Gb
Like we used to do in the good old days
Fm
Ebm
There was nothing wrong

Eb
I'm too old to change,
don't tell me I'm not
I'll just sit here in my shady spot
Db
Gb
Db
Gb
On my bench here by the park
Fm
Ebm
Where I've always left my mark
maybe I'll exchange a couple sneers
With the skinny kids with their
Eb
pants below their rears
Smile at the Muslim girls
Ebm
Bbm
and sweet young dears
Eb
Try me one of them fancy beers
Fm
Say how are you to a passing lumberjack
Eb
See if he might say how are you back
Decide things aren't quite as bad as I feared
Bbm
But I won't, won't, won't, won't,
Fm

Fm
won't, won't, won't
Forget about it
