TITLE: Anything Goes
Lyrics and Chords


[ Bbdim7 = xx2323 ]

Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock

/ Am - F - / Am - AmE7 Am / Bb - BbF7 Bb / E7 - E7Bm7 E7 /

If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them

/ A7 - - - / - - DmA7 Dm / E7 - AmE7 Am / E B7 E7 - / 

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows
Anything goes

/ A - - - / - AF#m F#m A7 / Bm7 A Bm7 Dm6 / A D6 A E+ /

Good authors, too, who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes

... / A Bm A Ab7 /

The world has gone mad today and good's bad today
And black's white today and day's night today
When most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos

/ C# - Ab7 - / / C#m - C#m7 - / Bbdim7 - E7 - / 

So though I'm not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
When I propose
Anything goes

/ A - - - / - F#m - A7 / Bm7 A Bm7 - / A - - - /

{Repeat last two verses, with I'm and you}
