G Up in the bar all smoking cigars Am While we were drinking Irish whiskey straight from the jar Em Talkin' 'bout them better days are not that far C Whoever's coming back to mine you better bring the guitar G You play a sad song, yea sing it from the heart Am Tell a sad story, yea tell it from the start Em Pass me on the pain that you made into art C Yea, piercin' through my skin like a heroin dart Someone's strumming on the strings And they're spitting things Everybody's moving, grooving vibes while the other sings They gon' kill you with their passion and the soul When the first verse drops, you'll be fighting back the tears and all While another man's crying in his beers and all While his woman's saying, "Cheers to it all!" Ain't no shame in the game Just the way you were raised To always sing about better days, better days Chorus: G Am Ooo hoo Ooo hoo Em Oh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray C Cause in the future these will be the good ol' days G Am Ooo hoo Ooo hoo Em Oh and we're arm in arm as we sing away C In the future this will be the good ol' days Ten o'clock and it's off What started as a pub crawl, now we're all lost Better live it out tonight, tomorrow's gonna cost So get up on that piano boy and play your a** off You play it real good Everybody sing along If you bang us out a beat Everybody move along Play us something real We can hang our hopes on Sing a rebel song (Oh, these times are hard) And watch us march along Won't you come along And meet Jenny, meet Pete Meet Mary, meet Keith They're busking on the street seven days a week Pay a pound, pay a penny Make it full or leave it empty They play, you listen, that's plenty It's two AM now, we're dancing in the rain and all Hanging out of each other like the pain is gone These are my people, these are my crowd And I'm never too proud to sing about 'em (sing about 'em) Chorus: Ooh (Here we go, hey) Ooh Oh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray Cuz in the future, these'll be the good ol' days Ooh (Here we go, hey) Ooh Oh, yeah we're arm-in-arm as we sing away In the future, these'll be the good ol' days The good ol', the good ol' days (The good ol' days) D Oh I got the whole place singin' yea, singin' this song C Even the old man there with the paddy hat on G C Singin' ooh ooh, come on sing it sing it, ooh ooh I got the whole place singing, yeah, singing this song Even the girl over there with the red dress on is singing (Yeah, she's singing) Oh, I got the whole bar drinking, yeah, singing this tune Even the guys over there with the big tattoos are singing (Drinking and singing, yeah) Now the emo girls with the college degrees And the tag-along friends with the fake IDs, singing Oh singing Yeah Here we go Here we go Ooh (Here we go) Ooh Oh, yeah we're arm-in arm as we sing away In the future these'll be the good ol' days The good ol', the good ol' days (The good ol' days) Good ol' days, yeah The good ol' days... | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
