Are The Good Times Really Over For Good Chords

(ver. 1)
Merle Haggard
[Verse 1]
 
           E                                        E7
           I wish a buck was still silver, like it was back when the country
    A      B7                                             E
was strong Back before Elvis, before the Vietnam War came along. Before the
                              E7                               A
Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work and still would. Is the
                        B7                                              E
best of the free life behind us now, are the good times really over for good?
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
            E                                                     A
            Are we rolling down hill, like a snow ball headed for hell with
B7                                            E
no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell? I wish a Ford and a Chevy
                                A                                           B7
would still last ten years like they should. Is the best of the free life behind us
                                       E
now, are the good times really over for good?
 
 
[Verse 2]
           E                                                           A
           I wish a coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to be. I
     B7                                   E
was back before Trudeau wore rainbow socks on TV. Before microwave ovens when a
 E7                               A                                   B7
girl could still cook and still would. Is the best of the free life behind us
                                       E
now, are the good times really over for good?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
           E                                                A           B7
          Stop rolling downhill like a snow ball headed for Hell. Stand up for
                                        E
the flag and let’s all ring the Liberty bell. Let’s make a Ford and a Chevy
                                       A
last ten years like they should. Cause the best of the free life
      B7                                              E
is still yet to come and the good times ain't really over for good.
