  Looking back on when I
  D#m7         G#7          D#m7 G#7  D#m7 G#7
  Was a little nappy headed boy
  D#m7         G#7
  Then my only worry
  D#m7              G#7              D#m7 G#7  D#m7 G#7
  Was for Christmas what would be my toy

  A#7            C7        Fm7             G#7
  Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
  A#7           C7       Fm7               Gm7
  We were happy with the joy the day would bring

  D#m7             G#7
  Sneaking out the back door
     D#m7                G#7                D#m7 G#7  D#m7 G#7
  To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine      Ooooh
  D#m7           G#7
  Greeted at the back door
              D#m7               G#7          D#m7 G#7  D#m7 G#7
  With boy, I thought I told you not to go outside

  A#7         C7                Fm7           G#7
  Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
  A#7               C7             Fm7             Gm7
  Thinkin' it might stop her, from whoopin' your behind

  (Chorus)
               D#m7  G#7    D#m7           G#7
  I wish those days, could, come back once more
                D#m7  G#7 D#m7        G#7
  Why did those days, ev  ver have to go
               D#m7  G#7    D#m7           G#7
  I wish those days, could, come back once more
                D#m7  G#7 D#m7        G#7
  Why did those days, ev  ver have to go
                   D#m7
  'Cos I love them so

  (Interlude)

  D#m7                D#m7
      Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
  D#m7                D#m7
      Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do

  D#m7              G#7
  Brother says he's tellin'
  D#m7              G#7              D#m7 G#7  D#m7 G#7
 'Bout you playing' doctor with that girl
  D#m7                 G#7
  Just don't tell I'll give you
  D#m7         G#7                     D#m7 G#7  D#m7 G#7
  Anything you want in this whole wide world

  A#7            C7        Fm7    G#7
  Mama gives you money for Sunday school
  A#7                 C7    Fm7             Gm7
  You trade yours for candy after church is through

  D#m7        G#7
  Smokin' cigarettes and
  D#m7              G#7          D#m7    G#7       D#m7  G#7
  Writing something nasty on the wall   (you nasty boy)
  D#m7              G#7    D#m7        G#7             D#m7 G#7
  Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall

  A#7             C7          Fm7               G#7
  You grow up and learn that, kinda thing ain't right
  A#7                C7           Fm7             Gm7
  But while you were doin' it, it sure felt outta sight

  (Chorus)
               D#m7  G#7    D#m7           G#7
  I wish those days, could, come back once more
                D#m7  G#7 D#m7        G#7
  Why did those days, ev  ver have to go
               D#m7  G#7    D#m7           G#7
  I wish those days, could, come back once more
                D#m7  G#7 D#m7        G#7
  Why did those days, ev  ver have to go
