C              Gm    Bb              F 
Good times are over, didn't you know?  
C       Bb             F 
Well I heard it on the radio  
C             Gm    Bb            F   
Read in the paper, saw in the news  
C           Bb              F 
The golden age is all but through  

C     Gm          Bb         C 
My oh my where did Cassidy go  
C             Bb        F 
The wild ones all grew old  
C                     Gm 
Times they are but changing

Yesterday's dead and gone

So play me that old time music

Play that familiar song  

C            Gm     Bb              F 
Just a holy roller, gun in his hand  
C         Bb            F 
Wondering why nobody understands 
C                Gm     Bb              F 
I'm missing the music, I'm longing for you... (youth?) 
C           Bb            F 
Laying the needle to run a groove  

C     Gm          Bb         C 
My oh my where did Cassidy go  
C             Bb        F 
The wild ones all grew old  
C                     Gm 
Times they are but changing  
Bb           F             C 
Yesterday's dead and gone  
C                        Gm 
So play me that old time music  
Bb           F            C 
Play that familiar song  
C                     Gm 
Times they are but changing  
Bb           F             C 
Yesterday's dead and gone  
C                        Gm 
So play me that old time music
