Verse 1:
D D
One day about twenty-five years from now,
G A
When we've all grown old from a-wondering how,
F#m Bm
Oh we'll all sit down at the city dump,
E A
And talk about the Goodle Days.
F#m Bm
Oh you'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine,
G A
And anything good from a-down the line.
F#m Bm
A lot of good things went down one time,
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.
Chorus:
F#m Bm
And the Good Old Days are past and gone.
G A
A lot of good people have done gone on.
F#m Bm
That's my life when I sing this song about
G D
Back in the Goodle Days
Verse 2:
D D
Sometimes I get to thinkin' that we're almost done,
G A
And there ain't nothin' left that we can figure out.
F#m Bm
And I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that
E A
Back in the Goodle Days,
F#m Bm
But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
G A
There's always somebody don'tcha know,
F#m Bm
A-hangin' round a-sayin' "Well I told you so",
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.
Chorus
Verse 3:
D D
Oh we'll all join hands and we'll gather round,
G A
When that old guitar starts to make that sound.
F#m Bm
A lot of good things went down downtown,
E A
Back in the Goodle Days.
F#m Bm
Squeezin' love with the people that we hadn't even met,
G A
Out for anything that we could get.
F#m Bm
Oh we did it then and we'll do it yet,
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.
Chorus
