3/4 time. I took some liberties with the ending of Merle's song, I hope for a clearer meaning.He was the Best! |
D I wish a buck was still silver,
and it was back when the country was D strong,
A7 Back before Elvis,
and before the Vietnam War came D along,
Before the G Beatles and Yesterday,
when a D man could still work and still G would,
is the A7 best of the free life behind us now,
and are the good times really over for D good?
Are we rolling down hill, like a snowball headed for G Hell?
...With no kind of chance for the A flag or the Liberty D Bell?
I wish a Ford or a Chevy would still last G ten years,
like they shouls, is the A7 best of the free life behind us now,
and are the good times really over for D good?
Is the A7 best of the free life behind us now,
and are the good times reaally over for D good?
I wish a Coke was still cola,
and a D Joint was just a bad place to G be,
and it was back before Nixon A7 lied to us all on D TV.
Before G microwave ovens,
when a D girl could still cook,
and still G would...
is the A7 best of the free life behind us now,
and are the good times really D over for good?
G Are we rolling downhill,
like a snowball headed for G Hell...
with A no kind of chance for the flag or the D Liberty Bell?
Will a D Ford or a Chevy still last ten years, like they G should?
And is the A7 best of the free life behind us now,
and are the good times really over for D good.
Let's make a D Ford and a Chevy still last ten years, like they G should,
and the best of the free life will be A7 still yet to come,
and the good times won't be really over for D good...
The G best of the free life is still yet to come,
and the A7 good times aint really over for D good.
