Version 1Twelve Thirty: The Mamas And The Papas. #20 in 1967. (Capo 1st fret.) #1. Am D G G7 C G I used to live in New York City. Am Dm G G7 C G Everything there was dark and dirty. Am Dm G G7 Eb G Outside my window was a steeple, Am Ab G G7 G G7 with a clock that always said twelve-thirty. CHORUS: C G Young girls are coming to the canyon, F Am G G7 and in the mornings I can see them walking. C G I can no longer keep my blinds drawn, F Fm C and I can't keep myself from talking. #2. Am D G G7 C G At first, so strange, to feel so friendly. Am Dm G G7 C G To say good morning and really mean it. Am Dm G F Eb G To feel these changes happening in me, Am Ab G G7 G G7 but not to notice till I feel it. CHORUS: C G Young girls are coming to the canyon, F Am G G7 and in the mornings I can see them walking. C G I can no longer keep my blinds drawn, F Fm C and I can't keep myself from talking. #3. Am D G G7 C G Cloudy waters cast no reflection. Am Dm G G7 C G Images of beauty lie there stagnant. Am D G F Eb G Vibrations bounce in no direction, Am Ab G G7 G G7 and lie there shattered into fragments. CHORUS: C G Young girls are coming to the canyon, F Am G G7 and in the mornings I can see them walking. C G I can no longer keep my blinds drawn, F Fm C and I can't keep myself from talking.(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
