C…….
[Verse 1]
F CSeems the good times have finally come to pass
F CMake way for bad times, soon to cross our path
C F CWhen my father was a young man, he got Mickey Mantle’s autograph
CAnd with the Ms shaped like the moon, he would contemplate the stars
F CAnd wish the good times would never come to pass
[Verse 2]
F CNo, they just don’t make ’em like that no more
F CNo, they just don’t make ’em like they used to
C F CWhen my mother was nineteen, she’d dance to Tina, Tina Turner
CAnd the hallway’d b?come a catwalk, and she’d Go to the show
F CNo, th?y just don’t make ’em like that no more
[Chorus]
CWell rock me, baby, oh, rock me, child
F CI miss the good times, Mama, they’ve gone out of style
G F CAnd I don’t remember how it feels to dance, goodbye to good times
[Verse 3]
F CBy way the crow flies, it could take all night
F CBy way the crow flies, it could take 900 miles
C F CWhen my sister was a kid, she lit a lantern and sent it to the night
CShe asked, “How far will it fly? And where will it land when it falls outta the sky?”
F CBy way the crow flies, it could Go all night
[Bridge]
F CSometimes the good, sometimes the good die young (Otis Redding)
F CSometimes the good survive (Diane Lane)
C F CWhen I was a little boy, I wanted to live and breathe inside a song
CWell how about this one
[Pre-Chorus]
F CSometimes the good die young, and sometimes they survive
CWell, Mickey, Tina, Otis, Diane, *******
[Chorus]
CWell rock me, baby, oh, rock me, child
F CI miss the good times, Mama, they’ve gone out of style
G F CAnd I don’t remember how it feels to dance, goodbye to good times
[Chorus]
COh, rock me, baby, oh, rock me, child
F CI miss the good times, mama, they’ve gone out of style
G F CAnd I don’t remember how it feels to dance, goodbye to good times
[Outro]
CWell this is a photograph, a window to the past
COf a family growing old, inside the boxing ring of time
CIn Bittersweet, Bittersweet, Bittersweet, Tennessee
