(Instead of N.C. or B N.C. you could play B F#7, to follow the end of verse chord pattern.) [Intro] B B E E N.C. B B [Verse 1]
         B                      E
Well I remember when I was just children

            B                                                 F#7
A time when people used to treat their neighbor like a fellow man

                 B7                           E
And them all day singing and them big prayer meetings

               B                    F#7                    B
When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbor's hand
[Chorus]
                         E
Lord, you talk about the good times

               B
Talk about the good times

                          C#7             F#7
Oh, if you ever needed help a friend was there

          E                        B       G#m
Some good neighbor, help lift your burden

            B              F#7                      B
Oh, and the simple joys of life your friends would share
[Verse 2]
                  B                           E
But the times are harder and the people are changing

           B                                                     F#7
Today most folks couldn't tell you who their next door neighbors are

                 B7                            E
All the guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted

               B                     F#7                     B
Ain't this old world taking hate and fear just a little too far
[Chorus]
                     E
Let's talk about the good times

                     B
Let's talk about the good times

                                    C#7               F#7
I wish I could just go back to the days I'm speaking of

                    E                           B         G#m
When a friend would meet you, and a smile would greet you

              B                   F#7           B
What this old world needs now is old fashioned love
[Solo] B B E E B B F#7 F#7 B B E E B N.C. B B [Verse 3]
                 B                   E
Well my old granddaddy, God rest his soul now

              B                                   F#7
Well we had a big long talk together the day he died

                  B7                           E
He said son, this world is so full of hate and venom

                          B                  F#7                 B
And I can't wait to leave this old place and rest on the other side
[Chorus]
                     E                       B
Oh, you talk about a good time, talk about a good time

                                 C#7                  F#7
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days

                        E
We'll have a big hand shaking

                   B       G#m
And sit and talk together

                B                 F#7             B
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our cares away
[Outro]
                      E                       D
Hey, you talk about a good time, talk about a good time

             B     F#7  B
Talk about a good time, yeah
