In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)
D. Parton
CAPO IV
INTRO: C G C G
We [C]got up before [G]sun up to [C]get the work [G]done up
We'd [F]work in the fields 'til the sun had gone [C]down
We've stood and we [G]cried as we [C]helplessly [G]watched
A [F]hailstorm beatin' our crops to the [C]ground
And I've [F]gone to bed hungry many [C]nights as a lad
In the good old [F]days when times were [C]bad
I've seen Daddy's hands break open and bleed
And I've seen him work 'til he's stiff as a board
I've seen Mama lay supper in sickness
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
[C7]
CHORUS:
[F]No amount of money could buy from me
The [Bb]memories that I have of [F]then
[F]No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live [C]thru it a[F]gain[G]
INTRO
We've got up before him and found ice on the floor
When the wind blew snow thru the cracks in the wall
And I've walked many miles to an old country school
With my lunch in the bib of my overalls
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
[C7]
