Back when (video) (midi)

G - D - Am - C

G D

1. Don't you remember the fizz in a pepper,

Am G D

peanuts in a bottle at ten two and four,

G D

a fried bologna sandwich with mayo and tomato,

Am G D

sittin' round the table, don't happen much anymore.

- Em - A7

We got too complicated, it's all way over-rated,

- C D

I like the old and out-dated way of life.

G D C

Back when a hoe was a hoe, Coke was a coke,

G

and cracks what you were doing

D

when you were cracking jokes.

D C

Back when a screw was a screw, the wind was all that blew,

G

and when you said I'm down with that,

D

well, it meant you had the flu.

Am C G - D

I miss back when, I miss back when, I miss back when !

G D

2. I love my records, black, shiny vinyl,

Am G D

clicks and pops and white noise, man they sounded fine.

G D

I had my favorite stations, the ones that played them all,

Am G D

country, soul and rock-and-roll, what happened to those times ?

- Em

I'm readin' street slang for dummies,

- A7

‘cause they put pop in my country,

- C D G

I want, more for my money, the way it was back then.

G D C

Back when a hoe was a hoe, Coke was a coke,

G

and cracks what you were doing

D

when you were cracking jokes.

D C

Back when a screw was a screw, the wind was all that blew,

G

and when you said I'm down with that,

D

well, it meant you had the flu.

Am C G - D

I miss back when, I miss back when, I miss back when !

+ G - D - Am - G - D

- Em

+ Give me a flat top for strumming,

- A7

I want the whole world to be humming,

- C D G

oh, just keep it coming, the way it was back then.

+ CHORUS

Am C

+ I miss back when, I miss back when !

+ G - D - Am - C (3x) ....
