I was thinking [D] about the first record I bought, which was a single.
You know, [A] this is, surf [D] music was happening.
I was really into hot rods, like me and my friend, my best friend, we, there was a [A] talent
show at the school and [E] we made these [D] cardboard _ cars and we, we played the record, [Bm] you know,
[Gb] one of those songs [Gbm] about racing [A] cars and so we got on the stage at [Gb] the elementary school
and [G] we were [D] racing across the stage, [A] you know, crouched down on the floor behind [G] the cars
[B] as [D] the song, as the Beach Boys song was playing.
And I was just thinking [Bm] about that time, you know, I'm 12, 11, 12, 13 years old and [D] it
was before the Beatles and _ _ John Kennedy was still alive and I just remember being so fired
up about that [Gbm] music at that time.
[D] And after all this time, [Gbm] I'm not even sure if I can really even play [G] it.
