Back In The Goodle Days Chords

   
This song is absolutely amazing, for me its about how right now is 'the goodle days' and 
people spend too much time worrying about how the whole world is fucked to ever enjoy 
while its here.

The intro stuff is basically the banjo in Bm pentatonic.

Verse 1:
D D
One day about twenty-five years from now,
G A
When we've all grown old from a-wondering how,
F#m Bm
Oh we'll all sit down at the city dump,
E A
And talk about the Goodle Days.
F#m Bm
Oh you'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine,
G A
And anything good from a-down the line.
F#m Bm
A lot of good things went down one time,
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.

Chorus:
F#m Bm
And the Good Old Days are past and gone.
G A
A lot of good people have done gone on.
F#m Bm
That's my life when I sing this song about
G D
Back in the Goodle Days

Verse 2:
D D
Sometimes I get to thinkin' that we're almost done,
G A
And there ain't nothin' left that we can figure out.
F#m Bm
And I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that
E A
Back in the Goodle Days,
F#m Bm
But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
G A
There's always somebody don'tcha know,
F#m Bm
A-hangin' round a-sayin' "Well I told you so",
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.

Chorus

Verse 3:
D D
Oh we'll all join hands and we'll gather round,
G A
When that old guitar starts to make that sound.
F#m Bm
A lot of good things went down downtown,
E A
Back in the Goodle Days.
F#m Bm
Squeezin' love with the people that we hadn't even met,
G A
Out for anything that we could get.
F#m Bm
Oh we did it then and we'll do it yet,
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.

Chorus

End.
