I saw Star Wars at least eight times, had the (C#m)Pac man pat tern (B)mem o rized

and my (A)ma ma cried.
It was nine teen (B)sev en ty some thin’, in the world that I grew up in;
Fa rah Faw cett hair do days,

And look in’ back now, (B)I can see me.
Oh, man, did I look chees ey.
And I would n’t trade those days
