Twenty Years Ago

 Kenny Rogers


G           C                 G                       F  C
It's been a long time since I walked through this old town
G                C                 D
But, oh, how the memories start to flow
G                   C                  G                F   C
And there's the old movie house, they finally closed it down
          G                   C            D             G    C  G  F  C
You could find me there every Friday night twenty years ago
G            C              G                   F    C
I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
G             C                  D
But nobody's left there I would know
G            C                    G                    F   C
On Saturday mornings that's where all my friends would meet
G                         C              D            G  C  G
You'd be surprised what a dime would buy twenty years ago
       Em                  C                G       C  G
All my memories from those days come gather round me
          Em                C               D
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
       Em                 C               G                 C
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go?
G                C      D            G   C  G  F  C
Life was so much easier twenty years ago
G                C           G                   F   C
I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store
G        C                  D
His only son was my friend Joe
G                 C            G  F C
But he joined the army back in 1964
G                          C               D            G   C G
How could we know he would never come back twenty years ago
        Em                  C               G       C  G
All my memories from those days come gather round me
          Em                 C              D
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
        Em               C                G                 C
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go?
G                C       D           G    C   G   F  C
Life was so much easier twenty years ago
       G                  C        D             G
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday twenty years ago
