Intro Dm - G x8

Dm      G     Dm   G           Dm    G    Dm    G  (Repeat through out verse)
If Queen Boadicea is long dead and gone 
Still then the spirit in her children's children's children, it lives on 
Oh Elvis, he was the King, had his piece of the pie 
Priscilla was the name of his latest flame
What a lame name for his latest flame 
Well now his century's over I'm having mine

Build up on an A  

Dm                  Bb                F         A            Dm  Bb  F  A
If you've lost your faith in love and music the end won't be long 
       Dm               Bb                 F                A        Dm  Bb  F  A
'Cause if it's gone for you then I too may lose it and that would be wrong 
     Dm               Bb               F       A            Dm      Bb   F  A
I've tried so hard to keep myself from falling back into my bad old ways 
       Dm                Bb              F        A                        Dm  Bb  F  
And it chars my heart to always hear you calling, Calling for the good old days 
A                      Dm          Bb  F
oh there were no 'good old days' 
A                  Dm        Bb  F  A
These are the good old days 


Bm
And it's not about tenements and needles 
                           G           A
and all the evils in their eyes and the backs of their minds 
Bm
Daisy chains and school-yard games 
      G                              A
and a list of things we said we'd do tomorrow 
  G                              A
A list of things we said we'd do tomorrow 


    Dm             Bb         F
The Arcadian dreams so fallen through 
        A               Dm     Bb  F  A
But the Albion sails on course 
   Dm            Bb            F
So man the decks and hoist the rigging 
            A                  Dm     Bb 
Because the Pigman's found the source 
F                   A               Dm          Bb   F   A   Dm  Bb  F   (A Stum once)
And there's twelve rude boys on the oars going  laa  laa laa laa laa Laa
                Dm
To the good old days.
