Twenty Years Ago-Kenny Rogers


Intro:   D  G  D  C  G
   D  G  D  C  G

D     G        D        C  G
It's been a long time since I've walked through this old town
D     G        A  A7
Oh how the memories start to flow
D     G        D        C  G
There's the old movie house, they finally closed it down
      D        G     A    A7     D    G    D    C   G
You could find me there every Friday night twenty years ago

D     G        D     C  G
I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
D     G           A  A7
But nobody's left there that I would know
D     G        D            C  G
On Saturday mornings that's where all my friends would meet
D           G        A  A7 D
You'ld be surprized what a dime would buy twenty years ago
   
      Bm       G        D
All my memries from those days come gather around me
   Bm       G        A  A7
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
   Bm       G        D        G
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go?
D        G  A  A7 D   G   D   G  D  C  G
Life was so much easier twenty years ago

D        G     D        C  G
I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's Hardware Store
D      G          A  A7
His only son was my friend Joe
D     G         C G
He joined the army back in 1964
D                 G        A  A7 D
How could we know he would never come back twenty years ago

CHORUS

Life was so much easier twenty years ago.
