[Verse 1]
E
Way out in the country, when I was seventeen

E
I'd be riding shotgun, you know what I mean

E
My friends thought I was crazy, maybe they were right

E
But I was gonna rock some day, morning noon and night
[Chorus]
A                                E
Good times ain't as good as they used to be

A                           E
I don't feel as cool as the cool cool breeze

A
Woman ain't as willin', whiskey ain't as strong

                                              E
And blues ain't as blue, since Willie Dixon's gone

[Verse 2]
E
I remember crazy music on a midnight show

E
Blastin' from Chicago comin' through my radio

E
Spirits of the Delta, shaking up my bed

E
Got myself a bad guitar, dreams inside my head
[Chorus]
A                                E
Good times ain't as good as they used to be

A                           E
I don't feel as cool as the cool cool breeze

A
Woman ain't as willin', whiskey ain't as strong

                                              E
And blues ain't as blue, since Willie Dixon's gone

[Verse 3]
E
Went to see my baby i was knocking on her door

E
Heard two sets of footsteps motivatin' cross the floor

E
Out back in the alley she could hear my motor start

E
Rock was inside my head, but blues was in my heart
[Chorus]
A                                E
Good times ain't as good as they used to be

A                           E
I don't feel as cool as the cool cool breeze

A
Woman ain't as willin', whiskey ain't as strong

                                             E
And blues ain't as blue, since willie dixons gone

                            Since Willie Dixon's gone                         Since Willie Dixon's gone
