Grandpa (Tell Me About the Good Old Days)

Intro: A E B7 E

Verse 1:
E                          A
Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
              E                            B7
Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy
E                        A
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
                      E                B7
When the line between right and wrong
              E
Didn't seem so hazy

Chorus:
                  A
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
                      E
And stand beside each other come what may?
                     B7
Was a promise really something people kept
                              E
Not just something they would say?
                    A
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
                   E
Did daddies really never go away?
    Gbm        B                         E
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Interlude: A E B7 E

Verse 2:
E                      A
Grandpa, everything is changing fast
             E                            B7
We call it progress, but I just don't know
    E                            A
And Grandpa, let's wander back into the past
                 E        B7           E
Then paint me the picture    of long ago

Chorus:
                  A
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
                      E
And stand beside each other come what may?
                     B7
Was a promise really something people kept
                              E
Not just something they would say and then forget?
                    A
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
                   E
Did daddies really never go away?
    Gbm        B                         E
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
    Gbm        B                         E
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Outro:
   A   E   B7   E
   A   E   B7   E

                    A
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
                   E               B7
Did daddies really never go away?
