Intro:
D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD

Chorus:
\tD
In the worrisome years, over the hills
\t\t\t\t G\t\t   D MajorD
I thought it's supposed to get easier, to pay your bills
\t\t  G\t\t\tD
I got nothing to show, but a worrisome heart
     D\tA7  G\t\t\t\t D MajorD
Can ya please tell me, when does the good part start?


Verse 1:
 D MajorD
I done like they told me, I done like I should
\t\tG\t\t\t D MajorD
Ever since I started, just trying to make good
\t\t  G\t\t   D MajorD
trying to make a good life, for my family
\tD  A7\t G\t\t\t   D MajorD
but I can't buy none of that stuff the kids want from TV


Chorus:
\tD
In the worrisome years, over the hills
\t\t\t\t G\t\t   D MajorD
I thought it's supposed to get easier, to pay your bills
\t\t  G\t\t\tD
I got nothing to show, but a worrisome heart
     D\tA7  G\t\t\t\t D MajorD
Can ya please tell me, when does the good part start?


Verse 2:
 D MajorD
I think about leaving, but where would I go?
\t   G\t\t\t D MajorD
How would I get there? I don't know
\t  G\t\t\t\tD
I took my stand here, I don't want to roam
\t  D\tA7  G\t\t\t\t D MajorD
This old town ain't much, but it's all I know of home

Chorus:
\tD
In the worrisome years, over the hills
\t\t\t\t G\t\t   D MajorD
I thought it's supposed to get easier, to pay your bills
\t\t  G\t\t\tD
I got nothing to show, but a worrisome heart

Can ya please tell me, when does the good part start?


Verse 3:
 D MajorD
I look at Cheryl, she looks at me
\t  G\t\t\t  D MajorD
We don't talk no more, about our dreams
\t  G\t\t\t\tD
We don't have no fun, the way we used to do
    D MajorD  A7\t G+G
Don't be disappointed in me baby,
            D MajorD
I ain't disappointed in you


Chorus:
D MajorD
It’s just the worrisome years, over the hills
\t\t\t\t G\t\t  D MajorD
I thought it's supposed to get easier, to pay your bills
\t\t  G\t\t\t D MajorD
I got nothing to show, but a worrisome heart
\tD\tA7 G\t\t\t\t  D MajorD
Can ya please tell me, when does the good part start?

When does the good part start, hey when does the good part start
   G+G \t\t\t\t\tD
Umm umm umm, when does the good part start?
