Are The Good Times Really Over (I Wish A Buck Was Still Silver) chords and lyrics - MERLE HAGGARD

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

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

[Chorus 1]
And are we [C]rolling downhill
like a snowball headed for [F]hell
With [G]no kinda chance for the flag
or the liberty [C]bell?
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last ten years like they [F]should
Is the best of the free life be[G]hind us now
And are the good times really over for [C]good?

[Verse 2]
I wish [C]coke was still cola
And a joint was a bad place to [F]be
It was back before [G]Nixon lied to us all on T.[C]V.
Before microwave ovens
when a girl could still cook, and still [F]would
Is the best of the free life be[G]hind us now
Are the good times really over for [C]good?

[Chorus 2]
Are we [C]rolling downhill
like a snowball headed for [F]hell
With [G]no kinda chance for the flag
or the liberty [C]bell?
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last ten years like they [F]should
Is the best of the free life be[G]hind us now
And are the good times really over for [C]good?

[Verse 3]
Stop [C]rolling downhill
like a snowball headed for [F]hell
Stand [G]up for the flag
and let's all ring the liberty [C]bell
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
That would still last ten years like they [F]should
'Cause the best of the free life
is [G]still yet to come
And the good times ain't over for [C]good
