Song: Back When We Were Young Artist: Tom T. Hall Album: For The People In The Last Hard Town Year: 1973 [Intro] C G [Chorus]
G                 C                       G
Back when we were young everybody came to see us

                    D                       G
Everybody wanted to be us back when we were young

                    C                           G
We loved each other so all our friends told one another

                      D                       G
And we even told each other back when we were young
[Verse]
G                                           
It was laughin' it was dancin' 

       C                               G
It was cigarettes and bourbon flavored kisses

       D                                           
It was alligator shoes and new blue suits

                        G                                           
And anything that money wishes
It was sittin' up all night and waitin'
C                             G
For the dawn to bring another wondrous day

       D 
It was holding hands and thinking 

                                 G                                           
That tomorrow is a million years away
[Chorus]
G                 C                       G
Back when we were young everybody came to see us

                    D                       G
Everybody wanted to be us back when we were young

                    C                           G
We loved each other so all our friends told one another

                      D                       G
And we even told each other back when we were young
[Verse]
G     
It was rolling sevens every time 

    C                          G
And thinking it was never ever gonna end

     D                                           
Back then we even thought of time itself 

                        G                                           
As being something of a passing friend

                                    C 
It was buyin' one another things we didn't need

                      G
And birthdays were so corny

     D 
Back then we even had some friends 

                        G                     
Live as far away as California

                  C                     
Back when we were young
