Good Times Ain't What They Used to Be
Johnson/Davidson/McCormick
Album: The Guitar Song


INTRO: A

          E            D                     A
I thought Jack Daniels was the working man's tea
           E      D                     E
It was the window to the life I used to lead
          D                            A
I used to ramble like a feather in the breeze
                 G          D                       A
But nowadays the good times ain't what they used to be


Back home on those backroads, everybody's movin' slow
'Til I hit that highway just as fast as I could go
I think that high road's been catchin' up to me
'Cause nowadays the good times, Lord, ain't what they used to be


CHORUS:
               D               G    A
And nowadays I dream of an old cane pole
                E D                         E
My baby's sweet tea and my favorite fishin' hole
                   D                   G     A
I sit down on that bank underneath the shade tree
                    G           D                             A
And I thank God the good times, Lord, ain't what they used to be


SOLO: D  A  E  D  E

                   D                   G     A
I sit down on that bank underneath the shade tree
                    G           D                             A
And I thank God the good times, Lord, ain't what they used to be
                G          D                                     
I thank God the good times ain't what they used to be


OUTRO: D  A  E  D  E  D  G-A  G  D  A  G  E  D  A  E  D  A
