intro Dm – G x8
Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm G ( repeat through out verse )
if queen boadicea is long dead and gone
still then the spirit in her children’s children’s children , it lives on
oh elvis , he was the king , had his piece of the pie
priscilla was the name of his latest flame
what a lame name for his latest flame
well now his century’s over i’m having mine
build up on an A
Dm A# F A Dm A# F A
if you’ve lost your faith in love and music the end won’t be long
Dm A# F A Dm A# F A
’cause if it’s gone for you then i too may lose it and that would be wrong
Dm A# F A Dm A# F A
i’ve tried so hard to keep myself from falling back into my bad old ways
Dm A# F A Dm A# F
and it chars my heart to always hear you calling , calling for the good old days
A Dm A# F
oh there were no ’good old days’
A Dm A# F A
these are the good old days
Bm
and it’s not about tenements and needles
G A
and all the evils in their eyes and the backs of their minds
Bm
daisy chains and school – yard games
G A
and a list of things we said we’d do tomorrow
G A
a list of things we said we’d do tomorrow
Dm A# F
the arcadian dreams so fallen through
A Dm A# F A
but the albion sails on course
Dm A# F
so man the decks and hoist the rigging
A Dm A#
because the pigman’s found the source
F A Dm A# F A Dm A# F ( a stum once )
and there’s twelve rude boys on the oars going laa laa laa laa laa laa
Dm
to the good old days .
