I picked this out by ear from the Woodstock film, and I'm sure there's 
plenty wrong with it. It sounds like it's maybe capoed up a semitone, too.

Younger Generation
John Sebastian (1967)


          C                            Dm7
Why must every generation think their folks are square?
        G                                      C
And no matter where their heads are they know Mom's ain't there?
          C                                 Dm7
'Cause I swore when I was small that I'd remember when
   G                                      C
I knew what's wrong with them that I was smaller then.


   C                            Dm7
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules,
      G                                 C
Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school.
   C                           Dm7
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two,
       Dm7           G               C
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby's due,
       Dm7               G           C
And I know he'll have a question or two.


        F   G        C            Em
Like ``Hey Pop, can I go ride my Zoom?
           Am          G                C         Em
``It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons.
       F           G               C               Em
``And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue,
        Am                                Dm7
``And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs?''
     C            G             Am              Dm7         G
And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation.


C                                       Dm7
Then I'll know that all I've learned my kid assumes,
     G                              C
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons,
     C                                  Dm7
And still I'll try to tell him all the things I've done
                 G              C
Related to what he can do when he becomes a man,
     Dm7                   G              C
And still he'll stick his fingers in the fan.


       F    G       C                 Em
And ``Hey, Pop, my girlfriend's only three,
                 Am       G               C          Em
``She's got her own videophone and she's taking L.S.D.,
       F                   G                    C             Em
``And now that we're best friends she wants to give a bit to me.
       F                        F7
``But what's the matter Daddy, how come you're turning green?
          Dm7                               G
``Can it be that you can't live up to your dreams?''
