A  Dbm  D  E
[Verse 1]
AAnd all these sad yound men
pDbmaraiding through their lives
Dthe girls that they have loved have now
bAecome expensive Ewifes
[Verse 2]
AThey think they know it all
aDbmnd in some ways they do
Dthey're reaching out for better times
E7if they only knew
[Chorus]
AThese are the good old days
this is the Dbest time of my Bmlife
Ethe best I've ever F#mknown
and it Bmwon't ever be tGhe same aEgain
TAhese are the good old days
and when my cloDthes are out of sBmtyle
aEnd life is slowing dF#mown
I'll Gknow what I have Edone
[Verse 3]
AWhile all this sad young men
go Dbmmarchin' up to walk
Dthe old men shake their heads and say
Awe've seen it all bEefore
[Verse 4]
ABut how are they to know
lDbmessons take so long
aDnd by the time they found the answer
lE7ife is almost gone      
[Outro]
AThese are the good old days
this is the Dbest time of my Bmlife
Ethe best I've ever F#mknown
and it Bmwon't ever be tGhe same aEgain
TAhese are the good old days
and when my cloDthes are out of sBmtyle
aEnd life is slowing dF#mown
I'll Gknow what I have Edone
