Verse 1
G        C     D       G
It was just this morning I saw you in the street
G      C          D         G
My mind went winging back to the days when life was sweet
G        C         D        G
When your mother took us aside and said now listen dears
G          C         D      G
Is there anything between you you said yes about 25 years

Chorus
G             D      C        D
But those golden days are over they're in the long gone by
C        D       C   D   G
Never more will they return no matter how we try

Verse 2
G      C           D         G
I recall the first lunch that your mother cooked for me
G           C       D        G
When I arrived at your front door as hungry as could be
G          C            D       G
She said now tell me can you guess what's for lunch today my son
G         C            D           G
But I knew it was rolly-polly pud 'cos she only had one stocking on

Chorus
G             D      C        D
But those golden days are over they're in the long gone by
C        D       C   D   G
Never more will they return no matter how we try

Verse 3
G        C       D          G
I remember your brother Jimmy crying one summer's day
G     C         D          G
Why do you cry young Jimmy I heard your granddad say
G            C         D       G
'Cos I can't do what the big boys do that's why I cry said Jim
G            C        D            G
Move over then said your granddad and he sat down and cried with him

Chorus
G             D      C        D
But those golden days are over they're in the long gone by
C        D       C   D   G
Never more will they return no matter how we try

Verse 4
G          C      D      G
But it was just this morning when I again saw you
G         C      D        G
You were with your husband and several children too
G          C        D         G
But as I passed you in the street I smiled for I could see
G          C  D         G
What a big fat ugly crow you turned out to be

Chorus
G             D      C        D
But those golden days are over they're in the long gone by
C        D       C   D   G  G
Never more will they return no matter how we try
