Are The Good Times Really Over
Merle Haggard
Key : C
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
C

[Verse 1]
---------------------
         C
I wish a buck was still silver
                                 F
It was back when the country was strong
              G7
Back before Elvis
                                 C
And before the Vietnam War came along
Before The Beatles and Yesterday
                                       F
When a man could still work, and still would
                               G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
                                       C
And are the good times really over for good?

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
           C
And are we rolling downhill
                           F
Like a snowball headed for hell?
     G7
With no kind of chance for
                        C
The flag or the Liberty Bell
                    Cmaj7
I wish a Ford and a Chevy
      C7                              F
Would still last ten years, like they should
                               G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
                                       C
And are the good times really over for good?

[Verse 2]
---------------------
           C
I wish coke was still cola
                               F
And a joint was a bad place to be
                       G7
And it was back before Nixon
                   C
Lied to us all on TV
Before microwave ovens
                                        F
When a girl could still cook, and still would
                               G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
                                        C
And are the good times really ove r for good?

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       C
Are we rolling downhill
                           F
Like a snowball headed for hell?
     G7
With no kind of chance for
                        C
The flag or the Liberty Bell
                    Cmaj7
I wish a Ford and a Chevy
      C7                              F
Would still last ten years, like they should
                               G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
                                       C
And are the good times really over for good?

[Outro]
---------------------
     C
Stop rolling downhill
                           F
Like a snowball headed for hell
      G7
Stand up for the flag
                               C
And let's all ring the Liberty Bell
                        Cmaj7
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
        C7                              F
That'll still last ten years, like they should
                                         G7
'Cause the best of the free life is still  yet to come
                                  C
And the good times ain't over for good
