In The Good Old Days
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Written by Dolly Parton

G7 C G7 C G7
We got up before sunup to get the work done up
F C
We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down
G7 C G7
We've stood and we've cried as we helplessly watched
F C
A hailstorm a beatin' our crops to the ground
F C
And I've gone to bed hungry many nights as a lad
F C
In the good old days when times were bad

G7 C G7 C G7
I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed
F C
And I've seen him work till he's stiff as a board
G7 C
I've seen momma lay and suffer in sickness
F C
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford
F C
Anything at all was more than we had
F C
In the good old days when times were bad

F
No amount of money could buy from me
A#7 F
The memories that I have of then

No amount of money could pay me
C F G7
To go back and live through it again

C G7 C G7
We've got up before and found ice on the floor
F C
Where the wind would blew snow through the cracks in the wall
G7 C
And I've walked many miles to an old country school
F C
With my lunch in the bib of my overalls
F C
Anything at all was more than we had
F C
In the good old days when times were bad

F
No amount of money could buy from me
A#7 F
The memories that I have of then

No amount of money could pay me
C F G7 C
To go back and live through it again
