Tuning: E A D G B E

ARE THE GOOD TIMES REALLY OVER FOR GOOD Merle Haggard It's best to use a barchord F during this song. Take note of the "no chord" before the last chorus, but start back with a strong strum.

I wish a ^Cbuck was still silver and it was back when the country was ^Fstrong Back before ^GElvis and before the Vietnam war came a ^Clong Before the Beatles and yesterday when a man could still work, and still ^Fwould Is the best of the free life ^Gbehind us now And are the good times really over for ^Cgood

Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for ^Fhell With ^Gno kind of chance for the flag or the liberty ^Cbell I wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years like they ^Fshould Is the best of the free life ^Gbehind us now And are the good times really over for ^Cgood

I wish Coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to ^Fbe It was back before ^GNixon lied to us all on T ^CV Before Microwave ovens when a girl could still cook and still ^Fwould Is the best of the free life ^Gbehind us now And are the good times really over For ^Cgood

Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for ^Fhell With ^Gno kind of chance for the flag or the liberty ^Cbell I wish a Ford and a Chevy, would still last ten years like they ^Fshould Is the best of the free life ^Gbehind us now And are the good times really over for ^Cgood

Stop ^Crollin' downhill like a snowball headed for ^Fhell Stand ^Gup for the flag and let's all ring the liberty ^Cbell Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they ^Fshould Cause the best of the free life is still ^Gyet to come And the good times ain't over for ^Cgood

Let the C just fade
