Tom: A
A Dbm D E
[Verse 1]
A
And all these sad yound men
Dbm
paraiding through their lives
D
the girls that they have loved have now
A E
become expensive wifes
[Verse 2]
A
They think they know it all
Dbm
and in some ways they do
D
they're reaching out for better times
E7
if they only knew
[Chorus]
A
These are the good old days
D Bm
this is the best time of my life
E F#m
the best I've ever known
Bm G E
and it won't ever be the same again
A
These are the good old days
D Bm
and when my clothes are out of style
E F#m
and life is slowing down
G E
I'll know what I have done
[Verse 3]
A
While all this sad young men
Dbm
go marchin' up to walk
D
the old men shake their heads and say
A E
we've seen it all before
[Verse 4]
A
But how are they to know
Dbm
lessons take so long
D
and by the time they found the answer
E7
life is almost gone
[Outro]
A
These are the good old days
D Bm
this is the best time of my life
E F#m
the best I've ever known
Bm G E
and it won't ever be the same again
A
These are the good old days
D Bm
and when my clothes are out of style
E F#m
and life is slowing down
G E
I'll know what I have done
