      G            F                G             F
Well, in my life I never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
G           F                G            F
Open up and shout it out and never try to sing
C                   A      G
Wondering if I done wrong
     F                        D     
Will this impression last too long?        But...

Chorus:
              G       F
    Won't you tell me
    G                  F          G      F
    Where have all the good times gone?
    G                  F          G      F
    Where have all the good times gone?

      G              F             G               F
Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
G              F              G             F
Time was on my side and I had everything to gain
C              A         G
Let it be like yesterday
F                        D  
Please let me have happy days        And...

Chorus

G            F               G                   F
Ma & Pa look back at all the things they used to do
G              F              G               F
Didn't have no money and they always told the truth
C                    A    G
Daddy didn't have no toys
F                        D
And Mommy didn't need no boys.

Chorus ending in  G F D  G F D 

G             F            G               F
Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
G                  F                  G      F
But lets face it - things are so much easier today
C                            A    G
Guess you need some bringin' down
F                             D      
And get your feet back on the ground
