Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

Way back when in '67
I was the dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston so young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale, where the hell am I

/ C - F G7 C - F G7 / / / C - F G7 Am7 Bm7 Fmaj7 G /

Hey Nineteen - no we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down

/ Em7 - C D / / Em7 D Cmaj7 F7 G - D G7 /

Hey Nineteen that's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen the Soul Survivors
She thinks I'm crazy, but I'm just growing old

Hey Nineteen - no we got nothin' in common
     We can't dance together
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down

{Refrain}
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

/ C - F G / / / /

Say it again

{Repeat refrain three more times}

Last time: ... / C - F G C Bm7 Fmaj7 B7 /

No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all

/ Em7 - C D / / Em7 D Cmaj7 F7 Em7 - - - /
