C Am F G7
At Erasmus Hall high school we used to harmonize
C Am F G7
Me and Frankie and Adam and two Italian guys
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:
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 waps to the wall
F G7 C Am
And if 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
G 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 G7 C C7
And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell
F G7 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
D7 F G Ab7
Even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky
VERSE:
C# Bbm F# Ab7

F# Ab7 C# Bbm
Now they've turned into oldies but they were newies then
F# Ab7 A7
And today when I play those old 45's I remember when
