I wish a buck was still silver, and it was back when the country was strong,
B7E
Back before Elvis, and before the Vietnam war came along,
AEA
Before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work, and still would,
B7
is the best of the free life behind us now,
E
and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.
A
Are we rollinʼ downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
BE
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell.

I wish a Ford or a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should.
B7
Is the best of the free life behind us now,
E
And Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.

I wish Coke was still cola, and a joint was a bad place to be.
B7E
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV.
AEA
Before Microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, and still would,
B7
Is the best of the free life behind us now,
E
and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.
A
Stop rollinʼ downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
BE
Standup for the flag, and letʼs all ring the liberty bell.
A
Letʼs make a Ford and a Chevy thatʼll still last ten years like they should.
B7
The best of the free life is still yet to come,
E
And the good times ainʼt really over for good.
