[G] [D] [A]
[D] I [G] will paint you a picture [D] of days that once were, using palette and brush from [A] my mind,
[D] so I can explain [G] to the modern [D] day child and remember [A] a simpler [D] time.
Of [G] the days we had fun [D] all on our own, with no help from the dollar [A] or dime.
[D] You turn it around, but you'll mark it all down, and know how [A] we traveled [D] in time.
Oh shine from a light, [G] up over [D] your bed, no TV, no [A] satellite dish.
Oh [D] I longed for that day, and [G] I pondered [D] away, would it be [A] my fondest [D] last wish?
No [G] computers or games to [D] be plugged in and play, no phone in the pocket [A] or hand.
[D] But it seemed we could always [G] find ways to [D] have fun, where today [A] nobody [D] can.
No cars in the driveway, [G] not even [D] a drive, just a path for your neighbors [A] to walk.
[D] Because everyone's welcome, [G] no locks on [D] the doors, because crime was [A] not given [D] a thought.
[G] No iPods or CDs [D] to crush the eardrum, in the kitchen the [A] accordion rang.
With [D] a lamp on the table, and [G] a fire in [D] the stove, and the air filled [A] with songs that [D] we sang.
I [G] will paint you a picture [D] of days that once were, using palette and brush from [A] my mind,
[D] so I can explain to [G] the modern [D] day child and remember [A] a simpler [D] time.
Of [G] the days we had [D] fun on our own, with no help from the dollar [A] or dime.
You [D] can turn it around, but [G] you'll mark it [D] all down, and know how [A] we traveled [D] in time.
[G] [D] [A]
[D] The first man on the moon was [G] a feet to [D] behold, I remember like old [A] yesterday.
Because [D] the race for the stars [G] was out there [D] so far, it seemed like [A] a [D] fairytale play.
When [G] a load in your car trap was [D] the biggest event, more likely than now to [A] be sure.
[D] We've war so far off, [G] not like here [D] today, when the bombs seem [A] to fall at [D] your door.
I [G] will paint you a picture [D] of days that once were, using palette and brush from [A] my mind,
