Twenty Years Ago
Kenny Rogers
G C G F C
It's been a long time since I walked through this old town
G C D
But, oh, how the memories start to flow
G C G F C
And there's the old movie house, they finally closed it down
G C D G C G F C
You could find me there every Friday night twenty years ago
G C G F C
I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
G C D
But nobody's left there I would know
G C G F C
On Saturday mornings that's where all my friends would meet
G C D G C G
You'd be surprised what a dime would buy twenty years ago
Em C G C G
All my memories from those days come gather round me
Em C D
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
Em C G C
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go?
G C D G C G F C
Life was so much easier twenty years ago
G C G F C
I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store
G C D
His only son was my friend Joe
G C G F C
But he joined the army back in 1964
G C D G C G
How could we know he would never come back twenty years ago
Em C G C G
All my memories from those days come gather round me
Em C D
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
Em C G C
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go?
G C D G C G F C
Life was so much easier twenty years ago
G C D G
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday twenty years ago
