[Verse 1]
        C       G     F       C          Am
Oh some times I think back to when I was younger

F               G          C      F/C
Life was so much simpler then

          C        G
Dad would be up at dawn

F       C            Am
He'd be watering the lawn

   F                   G
Or maybe going fishing again

       C            G  F      C                   Am
Oh and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen

      F           G         C      F/C
Fresh biscuits or hot apple pie

        C             G    F      C
And I'd spend all day long in the basement

Am        F
Torturing rats with a hack-saw

    G
And pulling the wings off of flies
[Chorus 1]
C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days

C              Dm       G     G Ab A
Those were the good old days

    Bb       F          C      Am
The years go by but the memory stays

    F              G          Bb/C   F/C
And those were the good old days
[Verse 2]
      C       G  F   C            Am
I can still remember good old Mr. Fender

    F              G       C     F/C
Who ran the corner grocery store

         C                 G     F      C            Am
Oh, he'd strolled down the aisle with a big friendly smile

             F                              G
And he'd say "Howdy" when you walked in the door

       C          G     F       C        Am
Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice

             F         G           C     F/C
I don't know why I set fire to his place

        C     G          F     C             Am
Oh I'll never forget the day I bashed in his head

         F                              G
Well you should've seen the look on his face
Let me tell ya now [Chorus 2]
C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days

C              Dm       G     G Ab A
Those were the good old days

    Bb       F          C      Am
The years go by but the memory stays

    F              G          Bb/C   F/C   C
And those were the good old days
Bb/C F/C C Bb/C F/C C Bb/C F/C C [Bridge]
Am                C
  Do you remember sweet Michelle

          F     G        C    F/C
She was my high school romance

       Am                  C
She was fun to talk to and nice to smell

     F               G          C    F/C
So I took her to the homecoming dance

       C             G         F   C                Am
Then I tied her to a chair and I shaved off all her hair

      F               G          C    F/C
And I left her in the desert all alone

     C               G
Well sometimes in my dreams

F     C              Am
I can still hear the screams

     F                          G
Oh I wonder if she ever made it home
I tell ya [Chorus 3]
C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days

C              Dm       G     G Ab A
Those were the good old days

    Bb       F          C      Am
The years go by but the memory stays

    F                       G
And those were the good old days
Let me tell ya buddy [Chorus 4]
C       G        F          C
  Those were the good old days

C              Dm       G     G Ab A
Those were the good old days

    Bb       F          C      Am
The years go by but the memory stays
Bb
    F              F    G    Bb/C   F/C
And those were the good old days
