So, let's sing a song about old times.
[G] [Am]
[G] [Am]
[G] [Am]
[G] [Am]
Well, [G] I lived on [Am] the outskirts of town
[G] In an eight [Am] room farmhouse, [G] baby
When my brother's [Am] friends were around
[G] There was [Am] always something to [Em] it
Had me couple [Bm] of real nice girls
[Am] That said bye to see [C] me every once in a while
[Em] When I think back [Bm] about those [Am] days
All I could [C] do is sit and [G] smile
That's [Am] when Spoke was spoke
[G] And proven was proven
[Am]
[G] And dancing [Am] was everything
[Em] [G] We were [Am] young and we were [D] [G] improving
Laughing, laughing [D] [Am] with our friends
[G] Holding hands [Am] made so much, [G] baby
Outside the [Am] club, cherry bottom
[G] Our [Am] hearts were really pumping
[G] Say yeah, yeah, [Am] yeah
Say yeah, [G] yeah, yeah
[Am]
[G] [Am]
[G] The winter days, [Am] they last forever
[G] But weekends [Am] went by too quick
[G] When riding around [Am] that little country town
[G] We were going next door [Am] out in the state
[Em] One night me with [Bm] my big mouth there
[Am] Couple guys had me put me [C] in my place
[Em] When I see those [Bm] guys these days
We [Am] just laugh and say
[C]
[G] That's when [Am] Spoke was spoke
[G] And proven [Am] was proven
[G] And [Am] dancing was everything
[G] We were young [Am] and we were [G] improving
Laughing, laughing [Am] with our friends
[G] Holding hands [Am] made so much, baby
[G] Outside the club, [Am] cherry bottom
[G] Our [Am] hearts were really pumping
[G] Say yeah, yeah, yeah
[Am] Say yeah, [G] yeah, yeah
[Am] So
[G] [Am]
[G] [Am]
[G] [C]
[G]
[A]
[Em] [G] [D]
you know [G] every time something goes [A] wrong
[G] In my life, I always just dance
[A] Something [G] [A] goes bad, [G] I dance
I get in an [A] argument, I dance
I [G] see the government doing something I don't [D] want them to do I dance
[G] You'd [A] be surprised how [G] dancing will get your problems away
[Am]
I'll show you how to do it
[G] [Dm]
[G] [D] See, you don't have to be very [G] good
You just gotta be able to do it
[A]
[G] So on this [A] section here, let's [E] all [Ab] dance
[G] And [A] let the problems of the world just kinda [G] slip away
For about [Am] five seconds if we [G] can

[G] I'm surprised that [Am] we're [G] still living
If we don't [Am] end it wrong
[G] Oh, bet [Am] we're born [Em] guilty
Got a few [Bm] kids of my own
[Am] And some days I shoot [C] on a wood TV
[G] [E] I hope that they're not [Bm] laughing too [Am] loud
They hear me talking like, [C] let's screw [G] you
[Am] Halfway in the smoke was the sky
[G] And [Am] grooving was grooving
[G] And [Am] dancing was everything
[G] We were [Am] young and we [B] were in [G] bloom
Laughing, laughing [Am] with our friends
[G] Oh, it [Am] has been [B] so much [G] later
Outside the [Am] club, cherry [G]
