Merle Haggard - "Are The Good Times Really Over" chords
Start Jamming...
I wish a buck was still silver, and it was [C] black, and the [G] country [E] was [F] strong.
Back [G] before Elvis, and before that old Vietnam War [C] came along.
Before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work in [F] steel wood.
The best of the free [G] life, behind us now, was a good time, really old, [C] for good.
I wish coke was still cola, and the joint was a bad [B] place [F] to be.
It was back [G] before Nixon lied to us all [C] on TV.
Before microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook
[F] in chopped wood.
The best of the free life, [G] behind us now, was a good time, really old, [C] for good.
Would you all sing it with me?
I'll be rolling down the hill like a snowball headed for [F] a hill.
[G] With no kind of chance for the flag or the [C] liberty bell.
I wish a Ford or a Chevy would still last ten years, [F] like they should.
The best of the [F#] free life, [G] behind us now, was a good time, really old, [G]
for
[C]
good.
[Cm] [C] Stop rolling down the hill like a snowball [D] headed [F] for a hill.
[G] Stand up for the flag and let's all ring the [C] liberty bell.
Let's make a Ford [C] and a Chevy that will still last ten years, [F] like it should.
The best of the free [E] life is [G] still yet to come.
The good times ain't over,
[D#]
[E]
for [G] [C] good.
