Where Have They All Gone?

Recorded in F: Suggest play as E with capo on 1:

I used to be a permanent emcee                 | E / / / |Amaj7/ / / | E / / / |
The spinning central figure of the fun         | D / / / | A / / / |
The heavy action took its cue from me          | G / / / | B / / / |
Who else could make things run?                | B / C D | E / / / | E / C D |

For I threw parties once upon a time           | E / / / |Amaj7/ / / | E / / / |
That started out with everybody tight          | D / / / | A / / / |
And ended only just this side of crime         | G / / / | B / / / |
So wasn't that my right?                       | B / C D | E / / / | / / / / |

  I had the leisure problem taped              |D9(no7) / / / | / / / / | E / / / | / / / / |
  With my huge capacity for absorbing pleasure | G6 / / / | F#7 / / / |Fmaj7/ / / | E / / / |
  Time wasn't killed so much as raped          |D9(no7) / / / | / / / / | G / / / | / / / / |
  I had its measure                            | Cmaj7 / / / | / / / / | B7 / / / | / / / / |

And the shindig kept a rhythm night to night   | E / / / |Amaj7/ / / | E / / / |
With people turning up and turning on          | D / / / | A / / / |
They used to call it strictly out of sight     | G / / / | B / / / |
So where have they all gone?                   | B / C D | E / / / | / / and fade
