Lookin back on when I, was a little nappy headed boy, 
 
Ebm7            Ab7    Eb7                     Ab7

Then my only worry, was for Christmas what would be my toy, 
 
Bb7                  C7              Fm7                Abm7 
Even though we sometimes, would not get a thing, 
 
Bb7                  C7         Fm7                     Bb7 
We were happy with the, joy that they would bring, 
 
(repeat as above) 
Sneakin out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine 
Greeted at the back door with "I thought I told you not to go outside, 
Tryin the best to bring that water to your eye 
Thinkin it might stop her from whuppin your behind 
 
                  Ebm7  Ab7     Ebm7                 Ab7 
I wish those days,  could ,  come back once more 
 
                     Ebm7  Ab7  Ebm7          Ab7 
Why did those days   ev-----er    have to go 
 
                  Ebm7  Ab7    Ebm7                Ab7 
I wish those days,  could,  come back once more 
 
                     Ebm7  Ab7 Ebm7       Ab7                           
Ebm7 
Why did those days   ev----er  have to go, cause I loved 'em so    
 
Brother says hes tellin, bout you playin doctor with that girl 
Just don't tell Ill give you, anything you want in this whole wide world, 
Mama gives you money, for Sunday school 
You trade yours for candy, after chuch is through 
 
Smokin cigarettes and writin somethin nasty on the wall 
Teacher sends you to the principle office down the hall 
You grow up and learn that kind of thing aint right 
But while you were doin it, it sure felt outta sight 
 
I wish those days, could, come back once more 
Why did those days ev-er have to go 
I wish those days, could, come back once more 
Why did those days ev-er have to go, cause I loved em so        
 
Jam on Ebm7   Ab7 till the end
