C     Am    F      G


[Verse 1]
   C              Am             F            G7
At daydream junior high school we used to harmonize
C                  Am        F            G7
Me and Frankie and Jimmy and some Italian guy
F               G7         C                Am
We were singing oldies but they were newies then
    F                               G7
And today when I play my old 45's I remember when


[Verse 2]
C                 Am           F          G7
We practiced in a subway, in a lobby or a hall
C            Am               F               G7
Crowded in a doorway singing "do-wops" to the wall
F                     G7             C               Am
And when we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing
     F                                     G7
We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom and nobody could get in


[Chorus]
G7             C              Am      F             G7
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound
  C              Am        F          G      C   Am    F    G7
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found       ooooh


[Bridge]
         F                                    C                  C7
And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell
      F                               C                 C7
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones and the Dells
     F                          C              Am
And when we sang sincerely, we really sang it high
     F                                           G       G#
Even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky


[Verse 3]
      Db           Bbm           Gb              Ab7
We've sung a lot of changes since nineteen fifty five
      Db           Bbm             Gb            Ab7
And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonise
    Gb                  Ab7        Db               Bbm
Now they've turned into oldies but they were newies then
       Gb                                 Ab7       A
And today when I play those old 45's I remember when


[Chorus]
        D              Bm      G             A7
We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound
  D              Bm        G          A7     D    Bm    G7   A7
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found


{Outro]
        D              Bm      G7            A7
We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound
  D              Bm        G          A7     D    Bm    G7   A7
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found      oooooooh
D   Bm   G7  A7
Found    oooooooh
D   Bm   G7  A7
Found    oooooooh
D   Bm   G7  A7
Found    oooooooh
