D A
High Street shops are boarded up,
Bm G
and the terrace it is fenced in.
D A
See-through shields are walled across
Bm G
the way that you came in.
D A
But there's no need to get excited,
Bm G
As the lorries bring the bacon in,
D A
'Cause the housewives are all singin',
Bm G A Bm
"Groovy times are here a-gain."
[as above]
D A
They discovered on Black Saturday,
Bm G
That mobs don't march, they run (they run)
D A
So you you can excuse the nervous triggerman,
Bm G
for this once jumping the gun.
D A
They were picking up the dead,
Bm G
Out of the broken glass,
D A
Yes, it's number one, hit radio says
Bm G
"Groovy times are here at last."
E G#m A B
Groo-oo---vy times,
E G#m A B
Groo-oo---vy times,
E G#m A B
Groo-oo---vy times.

The intake is on the uptake,
Bm G
the acceleration's pretty grim.

Bm G
"Groovy times forever more."
