Twelve Thirty: The Mamas And Papas. #20 in 1967. #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         F            G       G7 Eb G
Outside my window was a steeple,

Am                Fm                 G      G7 G G7
with a clock that always said twelve-thirty.
CHORUS:
C                             G
Young girls are coming to the canyon,

F          Fm                      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            F                 G    F Eb G
To feel these changes happening in me,

Am         Fm            G         G7 G G7
but not to notice till I feel it.
CHORUS:
C                             G
Young girls are coming to the canyon,

F          Fm                      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         F            G        F Eb G
Vibrations bounce in no direction,

Am            Fm             G        G7 G G7
and lie there shattered into fragments.
CHORUS:
C                             G
Young girls are coming to the canyon,

F          Fm                      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.)
