         C                                                           F
I wish a buck was still silver, and it was back when the country was strong,

            G7                                      C
Back before Elvis, and before the Vietnam war came along,

                                                   F     C               F
Before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work, and still would,

                               G7
is the best of the free life behind us now,

                                       C
and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.

                                                   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.

                                                               F
I wish a Ford or a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should.

                             G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now,

                                       C
And Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.

       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.

                                          F     C               F
Before Microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, and still would,

                              G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now,

                                       C
and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.

                                                 F
Stop rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.

     G                                               C
Standup for the flag, and let's all ring the liberty bell.

                                                                     F
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should.

                          G7
The best of the free life is still yet to come,

                                         C
And the good times ain't really over for good.
