Good Old Days by The Script
No Capo

Tabbed this the other day when I realised there wasn't anything for this
song yet. It seems to just be the two chords repeated again and again in
the same pattern, I know it's simple, but I think it works.

G                       
Up in the bar all smoking cigars 
While we were drinking Irish whiskey straight from the jar 
Em
Talkin' 'bout them better days are not that far 
Whoever's coming back to mine you better bring the guitar 

You play a sad song, yea sing it from the heart 
Tell a sad story, yea tell it from the start 
Pass me on the pain that you made into art 
Yea, piercin' through my skin like a heroin dart 

When someone's strummin' on the strings and they're spittin' things, 
Everybody's movin' groovin' vibes when the other sings 
They gon' kill you with their passion and their soul 
When the first verse drops, you'll be fightin' back the tears and all 

While another man's crying in his beers and all 
While his woman's sayin' cheers to it all 
Ain't no shame in the game, just the way we were raised 
For all we sing about better days, better days

Oh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray 
Cause in the future these will be the good ol' days 
Oh and we're arm in arm as we sing away 
In the future this will be the good ol' days

Ten o'clock and it's off, what started as a pub crawl 
Now we're all lost 
Better live it out tonight, tomorrow's gonna cost 
So get up on that piano boy and play your ass off 

You're playing real good, everybody sing along 
If your bang is out of beat, everybody move along 
Play us somethin' real we can hang our hopes on 
Sing a rebel song and watch us march along 
Won't you come along? (Oh, these times are hard) 

Yeah, meet Jenny, meet Pete, meet Mary, meet Keith 
They're bustin' on the streets seven days a week 
Pay a pound, pay a penny, make it full or leave it empty 
They play, you listen, that's plenty 

It's two am now, we're dancing in the rain and uh 
Hanging out of each other like the pain is gone 
These are my people, these are my crowd 
And I'm never too proud to sing about

Oh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray 
Cause in the future these will be the good ol' days 
Oh and we're arm in arm as we sing away 
In the future these will be the good ol' days 
The good ol', the good ol' days [x8]

Oh I got the whole place singin' yea, singin' this song 
Even the old man there with the paddy hat on 
Singin' ooh ooh, come on sing it sing it, ooh ooh 
I got the whole place singin' yea, singin' this song 
Even the girl over there with the red dress on 
Singin' ooh ooh, she singin', ooh ooh 
Oh, I got the whole bar drinkin' yea, singin' these tunes 
And the guys over there with the big tattoos 
Are singin' ooh ooh, drinkin' and singin', ooh ooh 
The emo girls with the college degrees 
And the tag along friends with the fake ID's 
Singin' ooh ooh

Oh and we're arm in arm as we sing away 
In the future these will be the good ol' days 
The good ol', the good ol' days [x8]
The good ol' days, yeah 
The good ol' days



Hope it's alright,
JJB1.
