Merle Haggard- Are the Good Times Really Over For Good (Lyrics) chords
Start Jamming...
I wish a buck was still silver, it was back when the country [F] was strong, [F]
back [G] before Elvis,
Vietnam War [C] came along, before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work,
[F] still would.
The best of the free life [G] behind us now is really over [C] for good.
And I went rolling down hill like a snowball headed [F] for hell,
[G] no kind of chance for the flag or the [C] liberty bell.
I wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years [F] like they should.
It's the best of the free [G] life behind us now, nor the good times really over [C] for good.
I wish coke was still cola, and a joint was a bad [F] place to be.
It was back [G] before Nick's, my tunes all [C] on TKD,
before microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, [F] still would.
The best of the free [G] life behind us now, nor the good times really over [C] for good.
I went rolling down hill like a snowball headed [F] for hell,
[G] but no kind of chance for the flag [A] or the liberty [C] bell.
I wish a Ford and a Chevy [Gm] would still last [C] ten years like [F] they should.
It's the best of the free [G] life behind us now, nor the good times really over [C]
for good.
Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed [F] for hell,
[G] stand up for the flag and let's all ring the liberty [C] bell.
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy, and still last ten years [F] like they should.
Best of the free life [G] is still yet to come, the good times ain't [D] over for
[C] [N]
