[Intro]
 D7   D7sus4X2
G C G D  G C G D C G D G Gsus4 G
[Verse]
I clGosed my eyes in Dartmouth, woke Cup behind the wD7heel,
a mGason jar of memories, and foCur black tires sqD7ueal.  
The first and lAm7ast time that we sEmpoke, you were lAm7ighting up a sEmmoke,
and shit was rDeal!Dsus4  D  
[Verse]
The PrGisonaires were singing “Just WCalking in the RD7ain”,
that’s hGow we got to Memphis, and we mCade it home agD7ain,
Down the hAm7ighway that I dEmream, with my bAm7lue eyes closed I’ve sEmeen...
...beyond the frDame! Dsus4  D  
[Chorus] 
Oh the gGood times we had, I remCember them, lads,
we could tGake any turn on a dDime. Dsus4  
Quit remGinding me, girl, It’s a rCagged old world,
'cause I dGon’t want to leDave it behCind,
No, I dGon’t want to leDave it behGind. Gsus4  G  
[Verse]
From a gGas station in Texas, to the BCay of Fundy mD7ud,
my mGind it goes a-wandering, with the whCisky in my blD7ood. 
RemAm7embering the chEmance we Am7had after the dEmance,
Before the flDoodgates opGened....
[Verse]
...RealiCty came rushing D7in,
drGowning out the past, and chCasing it with gD7in. 
I’ll fAm7ind that place agEmain, but lAm7et me first exEmplain, 
WhDere do I begin?Dsus4  D  
[Chorus]
Oh the gGood times we had, I remCember them, lads,
we could tGake any turn on a dDime. Dsus4  
Quit remGinding me, girl, It’s a rCagged old world,
'cause I dGon’t want to leDave it behCind,
No, I dGon’t want to leDave it behGind.
D7 D7sus4
[Verse]
We pGicked up the sticks, gCave it all we gD7ot,
The oGnly time I liked playing hockey was in the lCiquor store parking lD7ot. 
On HAm7ollis Street downtEmown, befAm7ore they tore it dEmown,
I took a shDot!Dsus4  D  
[Chorus]
Oh the gGood times we had, I remCember them, lads,
we could tGake any turn on a dDime. Dsus4  D  
Quit remGinding me, girl, It’s a rCagged old world,
'cause I dGon’t want to leDave it behCind,
No, I dGon’t want to leDave it behGind.Gsus4...G  
Oh the gGood times we had, I remCember them, lads,
we could tGake any turn on a dDime. Dsus4  D  
Standing oGut in the cold, singing TChose Bastard Souls, 
Well, I dGon’t want to leDave it behCind,
No, I dGon’t want to leDave this behGind....On a dime....

----------------------------------------------------------------

[Intro]

D7 D7sus4

G C G D G C G D C G D G Gsus4 G

[Verse]

G C D7

I closed my eyes in Dartmouth, woke up behind the wheel,

G C D7

a mason jar of memories, and four black tires squeal.

Am7 Em Am7 Em

The first and last time that we spoke, you were lighting up a smoke,

D Dsus4 D

and shit was real!

[Verse]

G C D7

The Prisonaires were singing “Just Walking in the Rain”,

G C D7

that’s how we got to Memphis, and we made it home again,

Am7 Em Am7 Em

Down the highway that I dream, with my blue eyes closed I’ve seen...

D Dsus4 D

...beyond the frame!

[Chorus]

G C

Oh the good times we had, I remember them, lads,

G D Dsus4

we could take any turn on a dime.

G C

Quit reminding me, girl, It’s a ragged old world,

G D C

'cause I don’t want to leave it behind,

G D G Gsus4 G

No, I don’t want to leave it behind.

[Verse]

G C D7

From a gas station in Texas, to the Bay of Fundy mud,

G C D7

my mind it goes a-wandering, with the whisky in my blood.

Am7 Em Am7 Em

Remembering the chance we had after the dance,

D G

Before the floodgates opened....

[Verse]

C D7

...Reality came rushing in,

G C D7

drowning out the past, and chasing it with gin.

Am7 Em Am7 Em

I’ll find that place again, but let me first explain,

D Dsus4 D

Where do I begin?

[Chorus]

G C

Oh the good times we had, I remember them, lads,

G D Dsus4

we could take any turn on a dime.

G C

Quit reminding me, girl, It’s a ragged old world,

G D C

'cause I don’t want to leave it behind,

G D G

No, I don’t want to leave it behind.

D7 D7sus4

[Verse]

G C D7

We picked up the sticks, gave it all we got,

G C D7

The only time I liked playing hockey was in the liquor store parking lot.

Am7 Em Am7 Em

On Hollis Street downtown, before they tore it down,

D Dsus4 D

I took a shot!

[Chorus]

G C

Oh the good times we had, I remember them, lads,

G D Dsus4 D

we could take any turn on a dime.

G C

Quit reminding me, girl, It’s a ragged old world,

G D C

'cause I don’t want to leave it behind,

G D G Gsus4 G

No, I don’t want to leave it behind....

G C

Oh the good times we had, I remember them, lads,

G D Dsus4 D

we could take any turn on a dime.

G C

Standing out in the cold, singing Those Bastard Souls,

G D C

Well, I don’t want to leave it behind,

G D G

No, I don’t want to leave this behind....On a dime....
