Verse 1:
E MajorE
Way out in the country, when I was seventeen
E MajorE
I'd be riding shotgun, you know what I mean
E MajorE
My friends thought I was crazy, maybe they were right
E MajorE
But I was gonna rock some day, morning noon and night

Chorus:
A augmentedA                E MajorE
Good times ain't as good as they used to be
A augmentedA              E MajorE
I don't feel as cool as the cool cool breeze
A augmentedA
Woman ain't as willin', whiskey ain't as strong
                        E MajorE
And blues ain't the blues, since Willie Dixon's gone

Verse 2:
E MajorE
I remember crazy music on a midnight show
E MajorE
Blastin' from Chicago comin' through my radio
E MajorE
Spirits of the Delta, shaking up my bed
E MajorE
Got myself a bad guitar, dreams inside my head

Verse 3:
E MajorE
Went to see my baby i was knocking on her door
E MajorE
Heard two sets of footsteps motivated cross the floor
E MajorE
Out back in the alley she could hear my motor start
E MajorE
Rock was inside my head, but blues was in my heart
