Are The Good Days Gone Forever Chords by Slim Dusty

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
We've had two world wars and the fighting is [A] still going [E] on. _ _ _
_ [D] We're tuned now to think that we live on the brink of [E] destruction since [A] man made the bomb.
[D] And our leaders talk peace, but their speeches aren't [B] doing too well. _ _ _
[G] If they don't call a halt, [D] if they don't find a fault, [A] they're gonna blow themselves right [D] into hell.
_ _ _ It seems bad news is big news and the world's full of [A] tension and [E]
strain.
_ _ [D] With violence increased, there's small hope for peace [E] and the nature of man [A] is to blame.
_ [D] Where are the rainbows they promised on some [B] future day?
_ _ _ [G] Are the good old days [D] gone forever?
[A] Well, our freedom [Gbm] keeps slipping [D] _ away.
[G] _
We're [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ so [A] [D] regimented in our everyday [E] lives and our hopes. _ _ _
[D] And with each piece of new legislation, it [E] seems a bit more of our [A] freedom is gone.
[D] And we're led to believe that these things have to be [B] anyway. _ _ _
[G] Are the good old days [D] gone forever?
[A] Well, our freedom keeps slipping [D] away.
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ But I'm glad that I've lived in this time and [A] that I [E] was born free.
_ _ _ [D] May God bless our future children and may [E] they see something that we [A] didn't see.
[D] So keep waltzing, Matilda, you're the fair dinkum [B] anthem for me.
_ _ _ [G] May the good old [D] days come back and we'll sing, [A] we're strong, we're [D] proud, we're free. _ _ _
Yeah, keep waltzing, Matilda, you're the fair dinkum [B] anthem for me. _ _ _
[G] May the good old [D] days come back and we'll sing, [A] we're all strong, yeah, we're proud [D] and we're free. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
