[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,

Why did those [Dm7] days, [G7] e 
[Dm7] ver have to [G7] go? 'Cos I love them so [Dm7]
