Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
G C C
(4x)
[Verse 1]
G C
We snuck in the back of that college town frat
G C
'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front
G C
Threw their Miller time keg in a Chevrolet bed
G C
And we let them horses run
Em D/F#
Cut a path through the grass yellin', "Kiss my ass"
G C
With middle finger in the wind
Em D/F#
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
C
Man, I'd love to do that again
[Chorus]
G C
Those were some good times
G C
Those were the best nights
G C
Thе freedom you feel when you're learnin' to fly
G C
And thе song on the radio was singin' our lives
G C Em D/F#
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
G C
But it looked on fire back then
Em
It probably wasn't
D/F# G C
But it seemed a little better back when
[Break]
G C C
[Verse 2]
G C
Gravel out spot by the porta-John's
G C
'Bout a quarter mile from the door
G C
Worked three weeks for a pair of cheap seats
G C
To hear "Never wanted nothing more"
Em D/F#
We were feelin' that buzz from a summertime love
G C
And a bottle tucked in a boot
Em D/F#
It's crazy to think that lookin' back now
C
But back then, we never knew
[Chorus]
G C
Those were some good times
G C
Those were the best nights
G C
Thе freedom you feel when you're learnin' to fly
G C
And thе song on the radio was singin' our lives
G C Em D/F#
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
G C
But it looked on fire back then
Em
It probably wasn't
D/F# G C
But it seemed a little better back when
[Solo]
G C C
C D D
[Bridge]
Am G/B C
I ain't sayin' that right now ain't right where I wanna be
Am G/B D
But I swear time adds a little shine to a long gone memory
[Chorus]
G C
Those were some good times
G C
Those were the best nights
G C
Thе freedom you feel when you're learnin' to fly
G C
And thе song on the radio was singin' our lives
G C Em D/F#
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
G C
But it looked on fire back then
Em
It probably wasn't
D/F# G C
But it seemed a little better back when
[Tag]
G C G C
Yeah, it seemed a little better back when

We snuck in the back of that college town frat
'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front
Threw their Miller Time keg in a Chevrolet bed
And we let them horses run
Cut a path through the grass yelling, "Kiss my ass!"
With a middle finger in the wind
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
Man, I'd love to do that again
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom ya feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
Gravel lot spot by the porta johns
'Bout a quarter mile from the door
Worked three weeks for a pair of cheap seats
To hear "Never Wanted Nothing More"
We were feeling that buzz from a summertime love
And a bottle tucked in a boot
It's crazy to think that looking back now
But back then, we never knew
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom ya feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
I ain't sayin' that right now ain't right where I wanna be
But I swear time adds a little shine to a long-gone memory
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom ya feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
It seemed a little better back when
