Lookin back on when I, was a little nappy headed boy,
Ebm7 Ab7 Eb7 Ab7
Ebm7 Ab7 Ebm7 Ab7
Then my only worry, was for Christmas what would be my toy,
Bb7 C7 Fm7 Abm7
Even though we sometimes, would not get a thing,
Bb7 C7 Fm7 Bb7
We were happy with the, joy that they would bring,
(repeat as above)
Sneakin out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door with "I thought I told you not to go outside,
Tryin the best to bring that water to your eye
Thinkin it might stop her from whuppin your behind

I wish those days, could , come back once more
Ebm7 Ab7 Ebm7 Ab7
Why did those days ev-----er have to go
Ebm7 Ab7 Ebm7 Ab7
I wish those days, could, come back once more

Why did those days ev----er have to go, cause I loved 'em so
Brother says hes tellin, bout you playin doctor with that girl
Just don't tell Ill give you, anything you want in this whole wide world,
Mama gives you money, for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy, after chuch is through
Smokin cigarettes and writin somethin nasty on the wall
Teacher sends you to the principle office down the hall
You grow up and learn that kind of thing aint right
But while you were doin it, it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days, could, come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days, could, come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go, cause I loved em so
Jam on Ebm7 Ab7 till the end
