Verse 1 
C                   Am            F            G 
At daydream junior highschool we used to harmonise 
C                   Am        F            G 
Me and Frankie and Jimmy and some Italian guy 
F                G          C               Am 
We were singing oldies but they were newies then 
     F                   F            G 
And today when I play my old 45's I remember when 
 
 
Verse 2 
We practiced in a subway, in a lobby or a hall 
Crowded in a doorway singing "do waps" to the wall 
And when we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing 
We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom and nobody could get in 
 
 
Chorus: 
G               C              Am      F             G 
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound 
   C              Am        F           G      C Am  F  G 
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found   ooooh 
 
 
Bridge: 
         F                                   C 
And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell 
      F                                C  
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 
     F                                                G  G7 
And even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky 
 
 
Verse 3 
We've sung a lot of changes since 1955 
And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonise 
Now they've turned into oldies but they were newies then  
And today when I play those old 45's I remember when 
 
 
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound 
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found 
 
 
We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound 
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found 
 
Found..oooh....found...oooh..found (etc.)
