^A And all these sad yound men
p ^Dbm araiding through their lives
^D the girls that they have loved have now
b ^A ecome expensive ^E wifes
^A They think they know it all
a ^Dbm nd in some ways they do
^D they're reaching out for better times
^E7 if they only knew
Refr.: ^A These are the good old days
this is the ^D best time of my ^Bm life
^E the best I've ever ^F#m known
and it ^Bm won't ever be t ^G he same a ^E gain
T ^A hese are the good old days
and when my clo ^D thes are out of s ^Bm tyle
a ^E nd life is slowing d ^F#m own
I'll ^G know what I have ^E done
^A While all this sad young men
go ^Dbm marchin' up to walk
^D the old men shake their heads and say
^A we've seen it all b ^E efore
^A But how are they to know
l ^Dbm essons take so long
a ^D nd by the time they found the answer
l ^E7 ife is almost gone (repeat refrain)
