INTRO: Am  G  D    Am  G  D    G

             Em
We came down from the hills
    C                  D
The land was millstone grey
  G              Bm
Escaping from tradition
          Am           D
Where our faces didn't fade


C                 Caug
People smiled and said
            F             Fm
"This ain't nothing but a phase"
    C       F
But we knew different
G               Am  G  D   Am  G  D           G
Back in Dolphin Days                (yoo hoo)


              Em
We played the big city
    C             D      G
And wowed the Big Smoke
                 Bm
"You must be up, hold the cup"
    Am                    D
The pledge, they used to joke


    C                   Caug
But when they heard the sound we made
          F                Fm
There was nothing else but praise
             C      F
We sure knew how to cut it
G               Bb  F  C

CHORUS:
Gm    C       Am  Dm
Then, now and al__ways
Gm    C       Am   Dm
Then, now, forever young
Gm    C          D
Then, now, for always____


G                   Em
You get better, you get it
      C           D  
So it was me all along
    G                 Bm
The Bus Stops and the Carousels
     Am                  D
Lost milestones, here in song


    C                         Caug
You leave them standing, they scream and shout
      F             Fm
The illusion in our haze
          C           F
We surely cracked the code
G               Bb  F  C
Back in Dolphin Days_____


BRIDGE:
Eb Bb   F
Is that all there is?
Eb    Bb          F
I was looking for more
Gn               Dm    Eb
Life is just one shot
              F
There is no encore, no, no, no


INSTRUMENTAL: G   C   D    G   C   D

You leave them standing, they scream and shout
      F             Fm
The illusion in our haze
          C           F
We surely cracked the code
