[Verse 1]
C F I wish a buck was still silver, it was back when the country was strong. G7 C Back before Elvis, before the Vietnam war came along. C F Before the Beatles and "Yesterday", when a man could still work, still would. F G7 G7 C Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Chorus]
C F And are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell. G C With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell. C F I wish a Ford and a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should. F G7 G7 C Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Verse 2]
C F I wish Coke was still cola, and a joint was a bad place to be. G7 C It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV. C F Before microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, and still would. F G7 G7 C Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Chorus]
C F Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell. G C With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell. C F I wish a Ford and a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should. F G7 G7 C* Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Final Chorus]
C F Stop rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell. G C Stand up for the flag and let's all ring the liberty bell. C F Let's make a Ford and a Chevy, that'll still last ten years like they should. F G7 G7 C* 'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come, and the good times ain't over for good.
