Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
E MajorE E7E7
I wish a buck was still silver, like it was back when the country
A augmentedA B7B7 E MajorE
was strong Back before Elvis, before the Vietnam War came along. Before the
E7E7 A augmentedA
Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work and still would. Is the
B7B7 E MajorE
best of the free life behind us now, are the good times really over for good?
Chorus 1:
E MajorE A augmentedA
Are we rolling down hill, like a snow ball headed for hell with
B7B7 E MajorE
no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell? I wish a Ford and a Chevy
A augmentedA B7B7
would still last ten years like they should. Is the best of the free life behind us
E MajorE
now, are the good times really over for good?
Verse 2:
E MajorE A augmentedA
I wish a coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to be. I
B7B7 E MajorE
was back before Trudeau wore rainbow socks on TV. Before microwave ovens when a
E7E7 A augmentedA B7B7
girl could still cook and still would. Is the best of the free life behind us
E MajorE
now, are the good times really over for good?
Chorus 2:
E MajorE A augmentedA B7B7
Stop rolling downhill like a snow ball headed for Hell. Stand up for
E MajorE
the flag and let’s all ring the Liberty bell. Let’s make a Ford and a Chevy
A augmentedA
last ten years like they should. Cause the best of the free life
B7B7 E MajorE
is still yet to come and the good times ain't really over for good.
