The things that we did when I was a kid they keep coming [Db] back to me

[Gb]
There's so much nostalgia remembering when the [B] Biffad and the yo-yo were the craze
Garbo and [Gb] Murnelloy, [Ab] Ambrose and Harry Roy, they were my [Gb] childhood days
[G] King George wore a monocle, we read the News Chronicle back in my [D] childhood days
There was Gandy and Len in Lady Astor and Bevan back in my [G] childhood days
We all used to cram on a 68 tram, the railways didn't [C] have those long delays
The gentry played [G] polo, Amy [A] Johnson flew solo back in my [G] childhood days
[Ab] We all used to sing songs recorded by Bing back in my [Eb] childhood days
There were carousel rides, we had showbacket signs back in my [Ab] childhood days
