[Verse 1]
    F                          A                                 
The times we had, oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
     F                       A                       
Were not all bad, we put our feet just where they had
     F            A   
Had to go, never to go

[Verse 2]
    F                        A                              
The shattered soul following close, but nearly twice as slow
   F                          A                         
In my good times there were always golden rocks to throw
F                         A                  
At those who, those who admit defeat too late
            F                     A       
Those were our times, those were our times

[Instrumental]

F     F         
Bb F  Dm C  (x2)

[Chorus]
    Bb     F                Dm        C          
And I will love to see that day, that day is mine
     Bb       F           Dm            C           
When she will marry me outside with the willow trees
    Bb    F               Dm        C         
And pla-a-ay the songs in May, they made me so
    Bb      F                Dm       C           
And I would love to see that day, her day was mine

[Outro]
Bb F Dm C   (x9)
