My Generation (Part 2) - Todd Snider ("Songs for the Daily Planet") Jeffrey Shilt ([email protected]) (There are many walking parts between chords - mainly anytime it goes from G down to Em, and going from G up to C into the chorus and during the talking parts at the end.) Did you know that there are people who would put us down for no other reason than the simple fact that we get around My Generation, part 2, verse 3, chapter 4, Jackson 5, Nikki Sixx [Intro]

(This also follow the first chorus starting on proud)

         G                C             G
Well my old man says the Woodstock generation

         C                G
Found a way to make this nation

     Em                A            D
Open up it's eyes and take a look around

        C            D      G              C
And he says my generation, ain't good for nothing

G               C               D          C        G
I can think of something, so I thought I'd write it down
[Chorus]
                C                            G
  So here's to hair gel, hanging out at the health spa

          D                       C  D
  Using condom sense and watching LA Law

             C               D
  Here's to drum machines, stoned-washed jeans

  G                Em
  Credit cards and fax machines

  A                               D
  Big bow-headed chicks and frat guys

           A                                 D
  Wearing forty dollar tye died T-shirts and big bold paisley ties

             C                D
  Here's to living off dad as long as you can

  G                    Em
  Blending in with the crowd

     C        D     C       D      C       D               G
  Oh my generation, my generation, my generation should be proud

G                         C        G
We were raised up in the hallowed halls

     C              G
Of half a million shopping malls

     Em                   A                      D
And there ain't any price that we're too proud to pay

          C              D               G               C
We'll buy anything from diet Sprite, too 1,000 points of light

G          C                   D               C         G
Well I'll admit we're not that bright, but I'm proud any way
[Chorus]
