Capo: 5
(Intro)
[C] [F] [Am] [F] [C] [F] [Am] [F]
(Verse)
[C]Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Watching [Bb]sun tea in the window
Pocket [F]watch for telling time
[C]Seems like only yesterday
I'd get a blank cassette
Rec[Bb]Record the Country Countdown
'Cos I [F]couldn't buy it yet [C] [F]
If we drove [C]all the way to Dallas
Just to buy an Easter dress
We'd take al[Bb]along a Rand McNally
Stand in [F]line to pay for gas
God [C]knows that shifting gears
Ain't what it used to be
I learned to [Bb]drive that '55
Just like a [F]Queen three on a tree
(Chorus)
[C]Hey whatever happened to[F]to
Waiting your tu[Am]turn
Doing it al[F]all by hand
'Cos when [C]everything is handed to yo[F]you
It's only wo[Am]worth as much as the tim[F]time you put in
It [Bb]all just seems so good the way we h[F]had it
[Bb]Back before everything bec[F]became, Autom[C]Automatic [F] [Am] [F]
(Verse)
If [C]you had something to say
You'd write in on a piece of paper
And you'd [Bb]put a stamp on it
And they'd [F]get it three days later
[C]Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them down
Staying [Bb]married was the only way
To [F]work your problems out
(Chorus)
[C]Hey whatever happened to[F]to
Waiting your tu[Am]turn
Doing it al[F]all by hand
'Cos when [C]everything is handed to yo[F]you
It's only wo[Am]worth as much as the tim[F]time you put in
It [Bb]all just seems so good the way we h[F]had it
[Bb]Back before everything bec[F]ame, Autom[C]atic, ye[F]ah [Am] [F]
Auto[C]Automatic [F] [Am] [F]
(Bridge)
Lets's [C]roll the windows down
Windows with the cranks
Come [Bb]on let's take a picture
The [F]kind you gotta shake
(Chorus)
[C]Hey whatever happened to[F]to
Waiting your tu[Am]turn
Doing it al[F]all by hand
'Cos when [C]everything is handed to yo[F]you
It's only wo[Am]worth as much as the tim[F]time you put in
It [Bb]all just seems so good the way we h[F]had it
[Bb] [F] [C] [F]
[Am]Bac[F]Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
Auto[C]Automatic
(Outro)
[F] [Am] [F] [C]
