 D     G        D        C  G 
It's been a long time since I've walked through this old town  
 D     G        A  A7 
Oh how the memories start to flow  
 D     G        D        C  G 
There's the old movie house, they finally closed it down  
       D        G     A    A7     D    G    D    C   G 
You could find me there every Friday night twenty years ago  
  
 D     G        D     C  G 
I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street  
 D     G           A  A7 
But nobody's left there that I would know  
 D     G        D            C  G 
On Saturday mornings that's where all my friends would meet  
 D           G        A  A7 D 
You'ld be surprized what a dime would buy twenty years ago  
   
        Bm       G        D 
All my memries from those days come gather around me  
    Bm       G        A  A7 
What I'd give if they could take me back in time  
    Bm       G        D        G 
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go?  
 D        G  A  A7 D   G   D   G  D  C  G 
Life was so much easier twenty years ago  
 
 D        G     D        C  G 
I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's Hardware Store  
 D      G          A  A7 
His only son was my friend Joe  
 D     G         C G 
He joined the army back in 1964  
 D                 G        A  A7 D 
How could we know he would never come back twenty years ago  
  
CHORUS  
  
Life was so much easier twenty years ago.
