Folks love to talk of the good, good old days
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Well, they say it was better in oh, so many ways
Long, long ago, long ago
They couldn't go to a movie show,
Listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car
And on [C7]a very cold and [Bm]wintery night
They couldn't sit and [Bm]watch a TV fight
And when the summer came
They will have to [C7]take a dame all [Em]bundled up to [C7]the beach
They didn't know a girl could look so cute in a bikini suit
Oh, how they sing of the good, good old days
Long, long [Am]ago, long, long [Am]ago
They couldn't swing in the good, good old days
Long [Am]long [Am]ago, long [Am]ago
They couldn't go to [C7]a movie show,
Listen to [C7]the ɾadio, go for [Dm7]a ɾide in a car
(But they still talk of the good, good old days)
And on [C7]a very cold and [Bm]wintery night
(Long, long [Am]ago, long, long [Am]ago)
They couldn't sit and [Bm]watch a TV fight
So when people say to [C7]me, "Nothing's like [F]it used to [C7]be"
(They say it was [Am7]better in so many ways)
I don't believe that it's so
(Long, long [Am]ago, long, long [Am]ago)
They didn't have so much to [C7]brag about
Long, long [Am]ago, long, long [Am]ago, long, long [Am]ago
