DID YA                       by   Ray Davies

Intro   Esus4  E    Esus4  E

F#m                                      E
Went for a walk down the old King's Road to see if anybody was there
          F#m                                      E
But there was nobody home at 3 by Water Street and they had sold Cadogon Square
      F#m                                       E
And I remember myself in my tie-dye sweater and my hipster corduroy flair      
     F#m                                              E
As I knocked on doors and walked down one way streets that led no where

A           C#m               F#m         D
Did ya ever think it wouldn't last forever
A           C#m           F#m            D
Did ya ever think that it would get this bad
A           C#m        F#m           D         Esus4  E  Esus4  E
Did ya ever think that everything would get so crazy


Now the Chelsea drug store needs a fix, it's in a state of ill repair
Any my Cuban heels are hurting my feet just to add to my despair

Bm   Bm/A  Bm/G#  Bm/G  Bm/F#  Bm/E  Bm/D Bm/C#
La-di-dahs drove Mini cars in the summer time
Bm      Bm/A   Bm/G#    Bm/G      Bm/F#       Bm/E         Bm/D        Bm/C#
Now they're towed away for parking on a doble yellow line  I think I'll pay the
fine

Did ya ever think we'd all believe the hype
Did ya think the classes all would revert back to type
Did ya ever think the system ever really got it right
Oh Baby

They filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity
And they led us down that classless road to mediocrity
As we walk down that alley way of hope we thought we found the motherload
But we were led like lambs to that promise land with all debts that we would owe
Trendies pose for tourist pictures in the summer time
Not content to take Polaroids purchased all the property they could find  And
I've sold mine


Did ya ever think this green and present land
Would end up in the bottom of some garbage can
A dust bin full of promise and harf hearted plans
Oh Baby

(Guitar Solo)

Did ya, did ya, did ya ever think
Did ya ever think
(In summer time)
Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce about the good old times and whine,
whine, whine

Did ya ever think when things were really fab
That we'd be looking thourgh a dust bin for a dog-end to drag
And sleeping on park benches wrapped in plastic bags
Oh Baby

Did ya ever think that it would get this crazy
Did ya ever think it would get this way
Did ya ever think that we'd pay the price for being lazy (ah ah....)


*The song is Single.(5 songs mini album in Japan)
It likes early Kinks song.
