Slang of Ages

Intro on C7

C7
Let me put it this way doll
And I know it's getting late
I can tell from the planes of your face
That you're from out of state
But here in the Willows now here's the deal
Tomorrow's for squares tonight's for real


Cmaj7   F6/9                   Cmaj7/D Am9   C6/9
                Drop me off in Groove  time

              Asus2         F6/9
Do I hear the Slang of Ages

                 Am9
Show me how it's done

C7
    Now did you say you were from the Netherlands
Or was that Netherworld?
If you grew up in Amsterdam
Then I'm the Duke of Earl
These tabs look iffy you say they're good
Let's roll with the homeys knock on wood

    Gbmaj9             G/F
The end of my life so far?

      Or something halfway in between

Fm9
    You ought to know

    G/Bb
Hey where'd you go? Where’d you go?

C7
Damn she skipped dimensions
Was it something that I said?
Or something I was thinking 
When she opened up my head?
Let me make it right baby never mind how
There's a crazy little place I know called “Be There Now”
