[Dm7] [G7] x4
[Verse 1]
[Dm7] Looking back on [G7] when I, [Dm7] was a little
[G7] nappy headed [Dm7] boy. [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Dm7] Then my only [G7] worry, [Dm7] was for Christmas;
[G7] what would be my [Dm7] toy. [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Bridge 1]
[A7] Even though we [B7] sometimes
[Em7] would not get a [Gm6-355353] thing;
[A7] We were happy [B7] with the
[Em7] joy the day would [A7#5-5x566x] bring.
[Verse 2]
[Dm7] Sneaking out the [G7] back door,
To [Dm7] hang out with those [G7] hoodlum friends of
[Dm7] mine. [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Dm7] Greeted at the [G7] back door,
With; "boy, I [Dm7] thought I told you [G7] not to go out-
[Dm7] side?" [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Bridge 2]
[A7] Tryin' your best to [B7] bring the
[Em7] water to you [Gm6] eyes.
[A7] Thinkin' it might [B7] stop her, from
[Em7] whoopin' your be- [A7#5] hind.
[Chorus 1]
I wish those [Dm7] days, [G7] could,
[Dm7] come back once [G7] more,
Why did those [Dm7] days, [G7] e
[Dm7] ver have to [G7] go?
I wish those [Dm7] days, [G7] could,
[Dm7] come back once [G7] more,
Why did those [Dm7] days, [G7] e -
[Dm7] ver have to [G7] go? 'Cos I love them [Dm7] so.
[Break - Just bass drum]
[Dm7] Do do do do, do
[Dm7] do do do, do do do do.
[Dm7] Do do do do, do
[Dm7] do do do, do do do do.
[Verse 3]
[Dm7] Brother says he's [G7] tellin',
[Dm7] 'Bout you playing [G7] doctor with that
[Dm7] girl. [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Dm7] Just don't tell; I'll [G7] give you,
[Dm7] Anything you [G7] want in this whole wide
[Dm7] world. [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Bridge 3]
[A7] Mama gives you [B7] money,
[Em7] for Sunday [Gm6] school,
[A7] You trade yours for [B7] candy,
[Em7] after church is [A7#5] through.
[Verse 4]
[Dm7] Smokin' ciga- [G7] rettes and,
And [Dm7] writing something [G7] nasty on the
[Dm7] wall, [G7] (you nasty [Dm7] boy!) [G7]
[Dm7] Teacher sends you [G7] to the
[Dm7] principals of [G7] fice down the [Dm7] hall. [G7]
[Bridge 4]
[A7] You grow up and [B7] learn that,
[Em7] kinda thing ain't [Gm6] right.
[A7] But while you were [B7] doin' it; it
[Em7] sure felt outta [A7#5] sight.
[Chorus 2]
I wish those [Dm7] days, [G7] could,
[Dm7] come back once [G7] more,
Why did those [Dm7] days, [G7] e -
[Dm7] ver have to [G7] go?
I wish those [Dm7] days, [G7] could,
[Dm7] come back once [G7] more,
Why did those [Dm7] days, [G7] e -
[Dm7] ver have to [G7] go?
I wish those [Dm7] days, [G7] could,
[Dm7] come back once [G7] more,
Why did those [Dm7] days, [G7] e -
[Dm7] ver have to [G7] go?
I wish those [Dm7] days, [G7] could,
[Dm7] come back once [G7] more,
Why did those [Dm7] days, [G7] e
[Dm7] ver have to [G7] go? 'Cos I love them so [Dm7]
