(intro) F#5 B5 C#5

F#5         B5                    C#5
I used to live in a poor neighborhood
F#5      B5                    C#5
My friends and me we always had a time
F#5             B5                      C#5
Never had no money but we had it so good

( A#5 )             B5               C#5
Those days are gone and I wanna go back
    B5         F#5
So pure so simple

F#5       B5              C#5
Never thought about it when you're young you don't care
F#5          B5     C#5
You don't realize it 'till it's all behind
F#5       B5           C#5
Take it for granted just not well

(chorus)
F#5             B5
Oh-oh It was pure and simple
F#5                   B5
I'll remember those days 'till the end
F#5         B5           C#5
Oh-oh God knows it's simple
   B5                G#5             C#5
If I could live my life all over again
                        D#5    B5  G#5 C#5 F#5
I'd keep it pure and simple

A#5    B5             C#5
Those days are gone and I wanna go back

(solo)
(chorus)

D#5                   B5
Got me a feelin' I'm not alone
D#5            B5
Wish I had a road so I could go back home
