Those Were The Days chords by Heath Borne

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D

Verse 1:
D
When I walked barefoot on blacktop
       G
In the summer heat
D
And had skin so tough
    G
And dark under my feet
C
But no callous on my heart
G

Full of wonder and pure
C
I was infected with wildness
A         E            G       A
That even God couldn't cure

Chorus:
               D
Those were the days
G
Best friends over for the night
       C
On the boat with my dad tomorrow
G
I hope the fish'll bite
C
Things were so simple then
G
Oh boy but they sure were right
   E
As true as a mother's love
        G                          A
And as righteous as the One from above
               D
Those were the days
