Lookin back on when I, was a little nappy headed boy,  
  
Ebm7            Ab7    Eb7                     Ab7

Then my only worry, was for Christmas what would be my toy,  
  
Bb7                  C7              Fm7                Abm7  
Even though we sometimes, would not get a thing,  
  
Bb7                  C7         Fm7                     Bb7  
We were happy with the, joy that they would bring,  
  
(repeat as above)  
Sneakin out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine  
Greeted at the back door with "I thought I told you not to go outside,  
Tryin the best to bring that water to your eye  
Thinkin it might stop her from whuppin your behind

I wish those days,  could ,  come back once more

Why did those days   ev-----er    have to go

Why did those days   ev----er  have to go, cause I loved 'em so     
  
Brother says hes tellin, bout you playin doctor with that girl  
Just don't tell Ill give you, anything you want in this whole wide world,  
Mama gives you money, for Sunday school  
You trade yours for candy, after chuch is through  
  
Smokin cigarettes and writin somethin nasty on the wall  
Teacher sends you to the principle office down the hall  
You grow up and learn that kind of thing aint right  
But while you were doin it, it sure felt outta sight  
  
I wish those days, could, come back once more  
Why did those days ev-er have to go  
I wish those days, could, come back once more  
Why did those days ev-er have to go, cause I loved em so         
  
Jam on Ebm7   Ab7 till the end
