[Intro 1]
[C][F][G][Dm][F][G]
[C][F][G][Dm][F]
Oh [G]some times

[Verse 1]
[C]
I [G]think [F]back to whe[C]n I was younger[Am]
[F]Life was so much [G]simpler [C]then
Dad would be up [G]at dawn
He'd [F]be water[C]ing [Am]the lawn
Or may[F]be going fishing [G]again

[Verse 2]
Oh and mo[C]m would be fixi[F]ng up
[C]something [Am]in the kitchen
Fresh [F]biscuits or [G]hot apple [C]pie
And I'd spend all [G]day [F]long
in the base[C]ment
[Am]Torturing rats wit[F]h a hack-saw
And And [G]pulling the wings off of flies
[C]Those [G]were the

[Verse 3]
[F]good old [C]days
Those were [F]the good [G]old days
[Bb]The years go by bu[F]t the
[C]memory [Am]stays
And [F]those were the good
old [Csus4]days[Bb][Csus4]

[Verse 4]
I [C]can still re[G]mem[F]ber
good [C]old Mr. [Am]Fender
Who [F]ran the corner [G]grocery [C]store
Oh, he'd strolled down [G]the [F]aisle
with a [C]big friendly smile
[Am]And he'd say "Howd[F]y" when
you walked in the [G]door

[Verse 5]
Always [C]treated me [F]nice,
gave me [C]kindly advice
[Am]I don't know why I[F] set fire [G]to his place[C]
Oh I'll never [G]forget [F]the day
I [C]bashed in his head
[Am]Well you s[F]hould've seen
the look on his [G]face
Let me tell ya now
[C]Those [G]were the

[Verse 6]
[F]good old [C]days
Those were [F]the good [G]old days
[Bb]The years go by bu[F]t
[C]the memory [Am]stays
And [F]those were the good [C]old [Csus4]days[Bb][Csus4][C]
[Bb]

[Am]

[Verse 7]
Do you remember [C]sweet Michelle
She was [F]my high [G]school ro[C]mance
She [Am]was fun to talk to and n[C]ice to smell
So I [F]took her to the [G]homecoming [C]dance

[Verse 8]
Then I [C]tied her to [F]a chair and
I [C]shaved off all her [Am]hair
And [F]I left her in the [G]desert all [C]alone
Well sometimes in [G]my dreams
I [F]can still [C]hear the[Am] screams
Oh I [F]wonder if she ever made it [G]home
I tell ya
[C]Those [G]were the

[Verse 9]
[F]good old [C]days
Those were [F]the good [G]old days
[Bb]The years go b[F]y but
[C]the memory [Am]stays
And [F]those were the good old [G]days
Let me tell ya buddy
[C]Those [G]were the good

[Verse 10]
[F]old[C] days
Those were the [F]good [G]old days
[Bb]The years go b[F]y but the memory
[C]sta[Am]ys[Bb]
And [F]those were the good
[Csus4]old days
[F][Csus4][F]
