Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver) chords
Start Jamming...
I wish a buck was still silver, it was back when the country [F] was strong, back [G] before Elvis,
the Vietnam War [C] came along.
Before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work,
still [F] would.
It's the best of the free life [G]
behind us now, and are the good times really
over [C] for good?
And I'll be rolling downhill like a snowball headed [F] for hell, [G] with no kind
of chance for the flag or the [C] liberty bell.
I wish a full moon was still silver, it was
Ford and a [C] Chevy, would still last ten years like they [F] should.
It's the best of the free
life [G] behind us now, and are the good times really over [C]
for good?
I wish Coke was still
cola, and a joint was a bad place [F] to be.
And it was back before [G] Nick's [G] live tunes, all
on [C] TV.
Before microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, [F] still would.
It's the best
of the free [G] life behind us now, and are the good times really over [C] for good?
And I'll
be rolling downhill like a snowball headed [F] for hell, [G] with no kind of chance for the flag
or the liberty [A]
[C] bell.
I wish a Ford and a Chevy would [Gm] still last ten [C] years [F] like they should.
It's the best of the free [G] life behind us now, [G] and are the good times really [C]
over for good?
Stop rolling downhill like a snowball headed [F] for hell.
[G] Stand up for the flag and let's
all ring [G] the [C] liberty bell.
Let's make a Ford and [C] a Chevy, it'll still last ten years [F] like
they should.
It's the best of the free [G] life is still yet to come, and the good times ain't
[A] over [C] for good.
