When We Was Fab

(spoken: one, two) F G 
 
Am F7 
Back then, long time ago when grass was green 
Am Am/B C D7 B C Am F#dim G#dim 
woke up in a daze arrived like strangers in the night 
Bb9-5 C C/B 
fab, long time ago when we was fab, 
Bb7 F C F G 
fab, back when income tax was all we had. 
 
Am F7 
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light, 
Am Am/B C D7 B C Am F#dim G#dim 
casualties at dawn, and we did it all. 
Bb9-5 C 
Fab, long time ago when we was fab, 
Bb7 F C 
fab, you‘re my world you are my only love. 
 
F Dm G 
And while you‘re in this world 
F Dm G C 
the fuzz gonna come and claim you 
F Dm G 
but you‘re more better wise 
F Dm G C 
when the buzz gonna come and take you away, 
Cm Fm C Cm F Ab6 C F G 
take you away, take you away. 
 
Am F7 
The microscopes that magnified the tears 
Am Am/B C D7 B C Am F#dim G#dim 
studied warts and all, still the life flowed on and on 
Bb9-5 C C/B 
fab, long time ago when we was fab, 
Bb7 F C 
fab, but it‘s all over now, baby blue, 
Bb9-5 C C/B 
fab, long time ago when we was fab, 
Bb7 F C 
fab, like this pullover you sent to me. 
Bb9-5 C C/B 
Fab, 
Bb7 F C 
and you really got a hold on me.
