Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
Ebm
What is happening?
What is up?
Things sure are different
Db
than when I was a pup.
Five dollar hot dogs,
strange fancy beers,
young skinny boys with their pants
Dbm
below their rears,
B
E
young pretty girls who cov
B
E
Dbm
er up their hair,
bearded lumberjacks
B
Ebm
everywhere.
Nowadays things aren't
what they used to be.
Db
You don't see all the things
you used to see.
This wasn't what the place was meant to be.
Dbm
Db
Abm
I feel like I'm living in another century.
Db
B
E
B
Not sure if it's a new or an old one.
Dbm
A modest or a bold one.
A
Gbm
Maybe I'll move to that
Abm
Dbm
place on the shore.
Abm
Gb
Dbm
Not sure I can take this place anymore.
Ebm
But I'm not sure about the
sound of the sea
Bbm
That's the kind of thing
that could really get to me
Ebm
Call me a curmudgeon,
call me a nuisance
When I was a boy,
Db
a hot dog cost a few cents
A jar of pickles cost a dollar and a half
Abm
Db
Now I see a jar for ten,
don't make me laugh
B
E
What did you say?
B
E
It's artisanal?
B
Dbm
What does that mean?
It's medicinal?
Db
Ebm
When I was a young man
there were like three beers,
now there are breweries
Db
coming out your ears.
Every bar I step into has another
B
Dbm
micro -brew.
B
E
B
E
Hearty lager, frothy ale,
Dbm
B
muddy brown or deadly pale.
A
Gbm
Maybe I should go down
Dbm
Abm
E
Gb
move in with my sister
B
E
Dbm
down in Florida.
Ebm
Gb
Sit in swelter in tropical heat
Ebm
Bbm
All the people down there,
Gb
Ebm
they don't know how to eat
Gb
Db
Gb
An d what's with those kids
and the crazy things they wear?
with scarves on their hair
Ebm
Don't they know that's
their prettiest part?
Db
The best way to reach a
young man's heart
Gb
And these boys on skateboards
with hats and sunglasses
Db
Loose -fitting jeans
that sag below their asses
Ebm
I can't think of nothing more obnoxious
Db
Than the sight of a teen
Bbm
Db
ager 's boxers
A
Gbm
Maybe I'll stay with my
Abm
Dbm
son on Long Island
B
Gb
E
Dbm
There at least the streets are silent
Ebm
But what would I do?
Ebm
It's too quiet there,
Ebm
Now don't get me started
on the guys with bushy beards
Db
That's a look that I find a little weird
Every guy's a mix
Abm
of Paul Bunyan and Walt Whitman
Db
It's enough to make me
want to call a hitman
B
E
Like we used to do in the good old days
Ebm
Dbm
There was nothing wrong

Db
I'm too old to change,
don't tell me I'm not
I'll just sit here in my shady spot
B
E
B
E
On my bench here by the park
Ebm
Dbm
Where I've always left my mark
maybe I'll exchange a couple sneers
With the skinny kids with their
Db
pants below their rears
Smile at the Muslim girls
Dbm
Abm
and sweet young dears
Db
Try me one of them fancy beers
Ebm
Say how are you to a passing lumberjack
Db
See if he might say how are you back
Decide things aren't quite as bad as I feared
Abm
But I won't, won't, won't, won't,
Ebm
Ebsus4
Ebm
won't, won't, won't
Forget about it
