   D  G  D  C  G 
 
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.
