Talk About The Good Times Cifras

[Verse 1]
         C                    F
Well I remember when I was as children
             C                                               G
The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man
              C                      F
And all their singing and big prayer meetings
               C                    G                    C
When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbor's hand
 
 
[Chorus]
                           F
Oh you talk about the good times
               C
Talk about the good times
                      Dm                 G
Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there
          F                        C
Some good neighbor, help lift your burden
                            G                   C
Mmm, and the simple joys of life a friend would share
 
 
[Verse 2]
          C                             F
Times are harder and the people are changing
         C                                           G
Now most folks couldn't tell you who their neighbors are
                   C                              F
All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted
               C                     G                      C
Ain't this old world taking hate and fear just a little too far
 
 
[Chorus]
                       F
Oh you talk about the good times
               C
Talk about the good times
                               Dm               G
I wish I could go back to the days I'm speaking of
                    F                           C
When a friend would meet you, and a smile would greet you
                                   G                    C
What this old world needs now is a little old fashioned love
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C                  F
My granddaddy God rest his soul now
              C                                   G
Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
                    C                        F
Said son this world is so full of hate and venom
                          C                  G                 C
And I can't wait to leave this old place and rest on the other side
 
 
[Chorus]
                      F                          C
Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
                                Dm                   G
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days
                         F
We'll have a big hand shaking
                   C
And sit and talk together
                                 G               C
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
 
                      F                          C
Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
                                Dm                   G
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days
                         F
We'll have a big hand shaking
                   C
And sit and talk together
                                 G               C
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
