[Verse]
Ab7 Ebm7 Ab7                                                     
■   ■    ■   Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy
Ab7                                                      
Then my only worry was for Christmas what would be my toy
Bb7                                           
Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
                       Ab7                    
We were happy with the joy the day would bring
Ab7                                                                      
Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Ab7                                                                     
Greeted at the back door with Boy I thought I told you not to go outside


[Chorus]
Bb7                           F7    Fm7         
Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
F7       Bb7      C7            F7            Gb7   
Thinkin' it might stop her from whoopin' your behind
             Ebm7 Ab7                      
I wish those days could come back once more
        Ab7                       
Why did those days ever have to go
             Ebm7 Ab7   Ebm7 Ab7           
I wish those days could come back once more
                        Ebm7 Ab7       
Why did those days ever ■    have to go
                   Ebm7
'cause I love them so

Brother said he's tellin' 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
                                                                       Bb7  
Just don't tell and I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world
                     Fm7 Fm           
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
Bb7                 C7    Bb7   F7               
You trade yours for candy after church is through
Ab7                                                       
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
Ab7                                                      
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall


[Chorus]
Bb7             C7                           Db7  
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
                   C7                               
But while you were doin' it it sure felt outta sight
             Ab7                           
I wish those days could come back once more
              Ab7                 
Why did those days ever have to go
             Ab7                           
I wish those days could come back once more
              Ab7                 
Why did those days ever have to go
