Intro:
D   G   D

Chorus:
\tD
In the worrisome years, over the hills
\t\t\t\t  G\t\t     D
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
Can ya please tell me, when does the good part start?

  D
I done like they told me, I done like I should
\t\tG\t\t\t  D
Ever since I started, just trying to make good
\t\t   G\t\t     D
trying to make a good life, for my family
\tD    A7\t  G\t\t\t     D
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
I thought it's supposed to get easier, to pay your bills

I got nothing to show, but a worrisome heart
         D\tA7   G\t\t\t\t D
Can ya please tell me, when does the good part start?

I think about leaving, but where would I go?
\t     G\t\t\t D
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
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
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
Can ya please tell me, when does the good part start?


Verse 3:
  D
I look at Cheryl, she looks at me
\t    G\t\t\t    D
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   A7\t  G
Don't be disappointed in me baby,
                        D
I ain't disappointed in you


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