Hey, you know everybody's talking about the good old days, right?
Everybody, the good old days, the [G] good old days.
Well, let's talk about the good old days.
[D] [G] Come to think of it as bad as we think they are,
these will [A] become the good old days for our children.
[D] [G] But why don't we try to [Am] remember
[D]
that kind of [G] September when [Em] life was slow,
[Am] oh so [D] mellow?
[G]
Try to remember, [Am] and if you remember, then [D] follow.
[G] Oh, why does [Em] it seem that the past is always [E] better?
We look back [D] and we think the [G] winters were warmer,
[Em] the grass was greener,
[D] the skies were bluer, and smiles were bright.
[C] Can it [B] be that it was [Am] all so simple [Bm] then?
Oh, has [E] time rewritten every line?
[G] And if we had the chance to [D] do it all again,
[G] tell me,
would we?
[A] [Am] Could we?
[D] [G] Memories
[C] Memories
Like the corners [Em] of my [G] mind,
[C] misty [Em] watercolor memories
[C] [D] of the way [G] we were.
[C]
[G] Scattered pictures
[C] [Em]
of the smiles we left behind,
[C]
smiles we [B] gave to one another
[G] [C]
for the way [G] we were.
[Dm]
[G] Ha ha.
Ah, [C] can it be that it was all [Am] so simple then?
[Bm] Oh, has time rewritten [E] every line?
[Am] And if we had the chance [C] to do it all again,
[G] tell me,
would [Bbm] we?
[Eb] Could [Fm] we?
[Cm] [Db]
Memories may [Fm] be beautiful [Eb] and yet
[Db]
[C] what's too [Fm] painful to [Ab] remember?
[Db]
[C] We simply choose [Fm] to
[Db]
absorb [Cm] the laughter.
[Db]
We [Cm] will remember,
[Db]
[Cm] remember
[Fm] [Bbm]
the way [Ab] we
[Eb] [Ab] remember
[Db]
the [Ab] [Bb]
way we [Ab] were.
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
