«Six Man Band»
(Terry Kirkman)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
This song, «Along Comes Mary», and «Cherish», were probably closer to
What THE ASSOCIATION was really about than any other recordings. The
Release of this song was accompanied by one of the first American Pop
Videos, although at that time done on 16mm film.

Bridge:
C
Well I’m a California man, my instrument in hand
Dm
I’m electrified
C
On a fast flyin’ trip, dirty laundry in my grip
Dm
Mostly drip-dry
C
We got the seventeen jewels that dictate the rules
Dm Bb
And the time to fly as we’re passin’ by
F
We just got the time to say hello and then a fast

Goodbye
