These Are The Good

These are the good old days (Albert Hammond - 1975)

Intro: A, Dbm, D, E

And all these sad yound men

paraiding through their lives

the girls that they have loved have now

become expensive wifes

They think they know it all

and in some ways they do

they're reaching out for better times

if they only knew

Refr.: These are the good old days

this is the best time of my life

the best I've ever known

and it won't ever be the same again

These are the good old days

and when my clothes are out of style

and life is slowing down

I'll know what I have done

While all this sad young men

go marchin' up to walk

the old men shake their heads and say

we've seen it all before

But how are they to know

lessons take so long

and by the time they found the answer

life is almost gone (repeat refrain)
