Intro: G  D  Am  C 
 
G                        D 
Don't you remember, the fizz in a pepper 
Am                     G             D 
Peanuts in a bottle at ten, two and four 
   G                           D 
A fried bologna sandwich with mayo and tomato 
Am                            G               D 
Sittin' round the table don't happen much anymore 
       Em                       A7 
We got too complicated It's all way over-rated 
            C                         D  
I like the old and out-dated way of life 


 
Refrão -------------
G            D 
Back when a hoe was a hoe 
C 
Coke was a coke 
     G 
And crack's what you were doing 
                        D 
When you were cracking jokes 
             D 
Back when a screw was a screw 
    C 
The wind was all that blew 
     G 
And when you said I'm down with that 
                          D 
Well it meant you had the flu 
            Am 
I miss back when 
             C 
I miss back when 
             G     D 
I miss back when

G                   D 
I love my records, black, shiny vinyl 
Am                                G                 D 
Clicks and pops and white noise, man they sounded fine 
G                            D 
I had my favorite stations, the ones that played them all 
Am                                    G                 D 
Country, soul and rock-and-roll what happened to those times? 
             Em                                     A7 
I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies cause they put pop in my country 
         C                     D               G 
I want more for my money, the way it was back then 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
Break(in from end of chorus): G  D  Am  G  D  
 
          Em 
Give me a flat top for strumming 
            A7 
I want the whole world to be humming 
C                         D               G 
Just keep it coming, the way it was back then
