Intro: A 

Verse 
A                                                                       E 
People sit around and they talk and talk how their dreams all ended too soon 
                                                         A 
Guess they never hung out under the stars howlin' at the moon 
  A                                                                 D 
I guess we're as different as night and day I see it in a different light 
                             A              E                       A  
I don't think much about the good ol' days, just about the good ol' nights 

               D 
Talk about the good times 
               A 
Talk about the times when the times were right 
                          E 
You can keep the good ol' days 
                       A 
I'll take the good ol' nights 

Solo 
A                                                         E 
They wanna go back to when a Cadillac didn't look like a Chevrolet 
                                                                A 
It meant a lot to them but not a thing to me I never owned one anyway 
      A                                                                 D 
But a good lookin' woman and an old guitar with both of them tuned just right 
                                  A              E                       A 
Well I don't think much about the good ol' days, just about the good ol' nights 

A                         E 
You can keep the good ol' days 
                       A 
I'll take the good ol' nights
