D#m7 G#7
Looking back on when I
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Was a little nappy headed boy
D#m7 G#7
Then my only worry
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
A#7 C7 Fm7 G#7
Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
A#7 C7 Fm7 Gm7
We were happy with the joy the day would bring
D#m7 G#7
Sneaking out the back door
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Ooooh
D#m7 G#7
Greeted at the back door
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
With boy, I thought I told you not to go outside
A#7 C7 Fm7 G#7
Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
A#7 C7 Fm7 Gm7
Thinkin' it might stop her, from whoopin' your behind

(Chorus)
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
I wish those days, could, come back once more
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Why did those days, ev ver have to go
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
I wish those days, could, come back once more
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Why did those days, ev ver have to go
D#m7
'Cos I love them so
(Interlude)
D#m7 D#m7
Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
D#m7 D#m7
Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
D#m7 G#7
Brother says he's tellin'
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
'Bout you playing' doctor with that girl
D#m7 G#7
Just don't tell I'll give you
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Anything you want in this whole wide world
A#7 C7 Fm7 G#7
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
A#7 C7 Fm7 Gm7
You trade yours for candy after church is through
D#m7 G#7
Smokin' cigarettes and
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
A#7 C7 Fm7 G#7
You grow up and learn that, kinda thing ain't right
A#7 C7 Fm7 Gm7
But while you were doin' it, it sure felt outta sight
(Chorus)
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
I wish those days, could, come back once more
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Why did those days, ev ver have to go
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
I wish those days, could, come back once more
D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7
Why did those days, ev ver have to go
(Outro) D#m7 G#7
