[Intro]
B B E E
N.C. B B
[Verse 1]
B E
Well I remember when I was just children
B F#7
A time when people used to treat their neighbor like a fellow man
B7 E
And them all day singing and them big prayer meetings
B F#7 B
When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbor's hand
[Chorus]
E
Lord, you talk about the good times
B
Talk about the good times
C#7 F#7
Oh, if you ever needed help a friend was there
E B G#m
Some good neighbor, help lift your burden
B F#7 B
Oh, and the simple joys of life your friends would share
[Verse 2]
B E
But the times are harder and the people are changing
B F#7
Today most folks couldn't tell you who their next door neighbors are
B7 E
All the guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted
B F#7 B
Ain't this old world taking hate and fear just a little too far
[Chorus]
E
Let's talk about the good times
B
Let's talk about the good times
C#7 F#7
I wish I could just go back to the days I'm speaking of
E B G#m
When a friend would meet you, and a smile would greet you
B F#7 B
What this old world needs now is old fashioned love
[Solo]
B B E E
B B F#7 F#7
B B E E
B N.C. B B
[Verse 3]
B E
Well my old granddaddy, God rest his soul now
B F#7
Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
B7 E
He said son, this world is so full of hate and venom
B F#7 B
And I can't wait to leave this old place and rest on the other side
[Chorus]
E B
Oh, you talk about a good time, talk about a good time
C#7 F#7
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days
E
We'll have a big hand shaking
B G#m
And sit and talk together
B F#7 B
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our cares away
[Outro]
E D
Hey, you talk about a good time, talk about a good time
B F#7 B
Talk about a good time, yeah
