Good Old Days

        C       G     F       C          Am
Oh some times I think back to when I was younger
F               G          C      F/C
Life was so much simpler then
          C        G
Dad would be up at dawn
F       C            Am
He'd be watering the lawn
   F                   G
Or maybe going fishing again
       C            G  F      C                   Am
Oh and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen
      F           G         C      F/C
Fresh biscuits or hot apple pie
        C             G    F      C
And I'd spend all day long in the basement
Am        F
Torturing rats with a hack-saw
    G
And pulling the wings off of flies

C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days
C              Dm       G     G Ab A
Those were the good old days
    Bb       F          C      Am
The years go by but the memory stays
    F              G          Bb/C   F/C
And those were the good old days

      C       G  F   C            Am
I can still remember good old Mr. Fender
    F              G       C     F/C
Who ran the corner grocery store
         C                 G     F      C            Am
Oh, he'd strolled down the aisle with a big friendly smile
             F                              G
And he'd say "Howdy" when you walked in the door
       C          G     F       C        Am
Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice
             F         G           C     F/C
I don't know why I set fire to his place
        C     G          F     C             Am
Oh I'll never forget the day I bashed in his head
         F                              G
Well you should've seen the look on his face
Let me tell ya now

C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days
C              Dm       G     G Ab A
Those were the good old days
    Bb       F          C      Am
The years go by but the memory stays

Am                C
  Do you remember sweet Michelle
          F     G        C    F/C
She was my high school romance
       Am                  C
She was fun to talk to and nice to smell
     F               G          C    F/C
So I took her to the homecoming dance
       C             G         F   C                Am
Then I tied her to a chair and I shaved off all her hair
      F               G          C    F/C
And I left her in the desert all alone
     C               G
Well sometimes in my dreams
F     C              Am
I can still hear the screams
     F                          G
Oh I wonder if she ever made it home
I tell ya

C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days
C              Dm       G     G Ab A
Those were the good old days
    Bb       F          C      Am
The years go by but the memory stays
    F                       G
And those were the good old days
Let me tell ya buddy

C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days
C              Dm       G     G Ab A
