AIN’T SHE SWEET -‐ http://www.tab-‐ukulele.com
Ain’t she sweet ? See her coming down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially, Ain’t she sweet ?
Ain’t she nice ? Look her over once or twice.
Now I ask you very confidentially, ain’t she nice ?
Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh, me ! Oh, my ! Ain’t that perfection ?
I re -‐ peat, Don’t you think that’s kind of neat ?
And I ask you very confidentially ain’t she sweet ?

Intro: [G] [Em] [C] [D7]
I rem[G]ember when rock was young
Me and [Bm] Susie had so much fun
Holding [C] hands and skimmin' stones
Had an [D7] old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the [G] biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a [Bm] thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the [C] other kids were rockin' 'round the clock
We were [D7] hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock well
Chorus: [Em] Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin'
When your [A7] feet just can't keep still
[D] I never had me a better time and I [G] guess I never will
[E7] Oh lawdy mamma those Friday nights
When [A7] Susie wore her dresses tight and
[D7] Crocodile Rockin' was out of [C] sight
[G] La…la la la la [Em] la…la la la la [C] la….la la la la [D7] la….
But the [G] years went by and rock just died
[Bm] Susie went and left me for some foreign guy
[C] Long nights cryin' by the record machine
[D] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll [G] never kill the thrills we've got
Burnin' [Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning [C] fast as the weeks went past
We really [D7] thought the Crocodile Rock would last well
Chorus
Repeat verse 1

Those Were the Days Written by Boris Fomin and Gene Raskin and performed by Mary Hopkin

And [B7] dreamed of all the great things we would [E7] do
Chorus
Those were the [Am] days my friend we thought they'd [Dm] never end We'd sing and [G] dance for[G7] ever and a [C] day
We'd live the [Dm] life we choose we'd fight and [Am] never lose For we were [E7] young and sure to have our [Am] way
[Am] La la la [A7] la la la [Dm] la la la Those were the [E7] days, oh yes those were the [Am] days
[Am] Then the busy years went rushing [Am7] by us
We [A7] lost our starry notions on the [Dm] way [Dm] If by chance I'd see you in the [Am] tavern We'd [B7] smile at one another and we'd [E7] say Chorus [Am] Just tonight I stood before the [Am7] tavern
[A7] Nothing seemed the way it used to [Dm] be [Dm] In the glass I saw a strange re[Am]flection [B7] Was that lonely woman really [E7] me
Chorus
[Am] Through the door there came familiar [Am7] laughter I [A7] saw your face and heard you call my [Dm] name [Dm] Oh my friend we're older but no [Am] wiser For [B7] in our hearts the dreams are still the [E7] same Chorus
