[Verse 1]

A                  E7
Granddad’s sitting by the fire,
D           E7                A            %
reminiscing on the times when he was a boy.
A               E7                D
In the good old days, he keeps on saying,
                                 / (Break)
    E7              A            %
but everything I’ve heard before.

[Chorus]
           F#m7             D
Times were when, times were when.
           E7             A
Times that won’t be back again,
           E7     A    E7 A
times were whe –  n.

[Verse 2]

A                    E7
Times were when boys looked like boys,
D                  E7
and girls, as he’s says,
           A                  %
acted like young women should.
   A            E7            D
He doesn’t understand our generation,
                              / (Break)
    E7            A           %
and in it, he can see no good.

[Chorus]
           F#m7             D
Times were when, times were when.
           E7             A
Times that won’t be back again,
           E7     A    E7 A
times were whe –  n.

[Verse 3]

Ab             Eb7
But when I get to his age,
Db             Eb7                Ab          %
I will talk of all the good times I had today.
Ab                 Eb7
Times were when he was a young man,
                                                  / (Break)
Db                 Eb7                 Ab         %
and he thought and did the same things I do today.

[Chorus]
           Fm7              Db
Times were when, times were when.
           Eb7            Ab
Times that won’t be back again,
                           / (Break)
           Eb7    Ab   Eb7 Ab
times were whe –  n.

           Fm7              Db
Times were when, times were when.
           Eb7            Ab
Times that won’t be back again,
           Eb7    Ab   Eb7 Ab
times were whe –  n.
