C
In lean years there was plenty
C7 F F
Even when we didn't have enough
G7
We all worked 'til sundown
And were sweating'
C C
When that old sun came up
C
When it rained we were glad
When it didn't we were sad
F C Dm
But we always gave thanks for our meal
F G
There was bread on our plate
C F
Even if it was late
Dm G C C
And there was never a reason to steal
[Chorus]
F C F
And I miss the ollllllld days
C C
We didn't have new ways
Am7
Was keeping us happy when love
Dm Dm G
Wasnt all it should be
C F
And I miss the olllllld days
C C
When people could find ways
G
And fighting' an Indian without
C
Losing your friends

[Verse]
C
When he first came to Texas
C7 F F
It was nothing for miles but dirt
G7
So we busted that old clay until
C C
Everything hurt
C
In the daylight we planted
By the noon we were granted
F C Dm
The fruits of our sweat and our tears
F G
For all of our work
C F
We were poor as the dirt
Dm G C C
But we were happy when we were still
[Chorus]
F C F
And I miss the ollllllld days
C C
We didn't have new ways
Am
Was keeping us happy when love
Dm Dm G7
Wasnt all it should be
C F
And I miss the olllllld days
C C
When people could find ways
G
And fighting' an Indian without
C
Losing your friends
