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

Ebm
I feel like I'm living in another century.

B

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

Hearty lager, frothy ale,

Maybe I should go down

move in with my sister
Gb

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

Ab
I'm too old to change,
don't tell me I'm not
I'll just sit here in my shady spot

B
Gb
B
On my bench here by the park
Bbm
Abm
Where I've always left my mark
maybe I'll exchange a couple sneers
With the skinny kids with their
Ab
pants below their rears
Smile at the Muslim girls
Abm
Ebm
and sweet young dears
Ab
Try me one of them fancy beers
Bbm
Say how are you to a passing lumberjack
Ab
See if he might say how are you back
Decide things aren't quite as bad as I feared
Ebm
But I won't, won't, won't, won't,
Bbm
Bbsus4
Bbm
won't, won't, won't
Forget about it
