[Intro]
C  C  C  C
[Verse 1]
         C                                                        F
I wish a buck was still silver, it was back when the country was strong.
G7                                              C
Back before Elvis, before the Vietnam war came along.
            C                                                           F
Before the Beatles and "Yesterday", when a man could still work, still would.
       F                       G7                       G7                         C
Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Chorus]
            C                                          F
And are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
     G                                              C
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell.
          C                                                      F
I wish a Ford and a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should.
       F                       G7                       G7                         C
Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Verse 2]
        C                                                  F
I wish Coke was still cola, and a joint was a bad place to be.
        G7                                  C
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV.
        C                                                        F
Before microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, and still would.
       F                       G7                       G7                         C
Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Chorus]
        C                                          F
Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
     G                                              C
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell.
          C                                                      F
I wish a Ford and a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should.
       F                      G7                     G7                       C
                                                                              *
Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?
[Final Chorus]
      C                                          F
Stop rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
      G                                              C
Stand up for the flag and let's all ring the liberty bell.
              C                                                        F
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy, that'll still last ten years like they should.
           F                        G7                      G7                      C
                                                                                    *
'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come, and the good times ain't over for good.
