Intro: A, C#m, D, E

A
And all these sad yound men
 C#m
paraiding through their lives
D
the girls that they have loved have now
 A               E
become expensive wifes

A
They think they know it all
 C#m
and in some ways they do
D
they're reaching out for better times
E7
if they only knew


       A
Refr.: 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


A
While all this sad young men
  C#m
go marchin' up to walk
D
the old men shake their heads and say
A                  E
we've seen it all before

A
But how are they to know
 C#m
lessons take so long
 D
and by the time they found the answer
 E7
life is almost gone       (repeat refrain)
