INTRO: D

D G D

There's nothin' like the good times when the bad times are all gone

A7

Sittin' 'round in Harlan's place singin' some old songs

G G/B D G

Me and Billie Joe would sit and never make a sound

D A7 D

Watchin' all them pickers pass that old guitar around

CHORUS:

G G/B D G

When there was good old country music for the soul and for the mind

Bm G D A7

When those sweet vibrations got out of control you could not find

G G/B D G

A greater bunch of poets to sit down and pass the time

D A7 D

Playin' good old country music for the soul and for the mind

D G A7

D G D

They've played all their new songs, the ones no one will sing

A7

Gettin' by on gettin' high, tryin' to do their thing

G G/B D G

Singin' 'bout the good old days, wantin' to be free

D A7 D

Talkin' 'bout Kristofferson and how it used to be

CHORUS (repeat and fade)
