Verse 1:
       Em        D           G        C
When a man was a man and his word was true
                  Em       D            G     C
And your problems could be fixed with a beer or two
             Em      D           G       C
There wasn't so much hate on the nightly news
        Em             D             G      C
Yeah, lately I've been thinkin' that we could use, a little more

Em    D           G
Back, back in the day
         C
When the world didn't seem so crazy

I'm just trying to say
C

Some things don't need changin'
     D              Em
From where I stand, it ain't workin'
C
Everybody's hurtin', think it's time we turn it

Back, back in the day

                                                          C
Oh, when you waved to a stranger and your neighbour was a friend
      Em            D             G          C
And a deal would be done with the shake of a hand
      Em      D           G    C
And a bonfire night was a weekend's plan
    Em               D                G    C
Oh, lately I've been wishin' we could go back then

Em       D         G
I'm just trying to say

From where I stand, it ain't workin'

Everybody's hurtin', think it's time we turn it

Back, back in the day

(Back in the day, back in the day )

Can grow up wild and free, like I did
