  Gm               Gmaj7 
Papa, why do you play  
                   Gm7 
all the same old songs  
            Gm6 
Why do you sing  
             Gm 
with the melody  

   Gm             Gmaj7 
Cause down the street  
                  Gm7 
something's goin' on  
               Gm6 
There's a new beat  
                  Eb 
and a brand new song  
   
     
He said  
                       Gm 
In my life, there was so much anger  
  Eb                Gm 
Still I have no regrets  
  Eb                  Gm 
Just like you, I was such a rebel  
    Eb                         F 
So dance your own dance, and never forget  

            Gm7+  
N'oubliez jamiais  
                   Bb 
I heard my father say  
                          F 
Every generation has its way  
              Cadd9 
a need to disobey  

           Gm7+  
N'oubliez jamais  
               Bb 
It's in your destiny  
                F 
a need to disagree  
                       Cadd9 
when rules get in the way  
            Gm7+    
N'oubliez jamais  

Gm7+ | Bb | F | Cadd9 | 

Mama, why do you dance  
to the same old songs  
Why do you sing  
only the harmony  

Down on the street  
Something's goin' on  
There's a new beat  
and a brand new song  

She said  
In my heart there's a young girl's passion  
for a life long duet  
Someday soon  
someone's smile will haunt you  
So sing your own song and never forget  

N'oubliez jamais  
I heard my father say  
Every generation has its way  
a need to disobey  

N'oubliez jamais  
It's in your destiny  
a need to disagree  
when rules get in the way  
N'oubliez jamais  

Gm7+ | Bb | F | Cadd9 | 

 Eb           Bb 
What is this game  
               Gm                F        Eb  Ebm 
searching for love or fame, it's all the same  
              Bb                 C7              F 
one of these days you say that love will be the cure  
             F| 
I'm not sure  

N'oubliez jamais  
I heard my father say  
Every generation has its way  
a need to disobey  

N'oubliez jamais  
It's in your destiny  
a need to disagree  
when rules get in the way  
N'oubliez jamais
