INTRO: A

           E           D                    A
I thought Jack Daniels was the orking man's tea
           E       D                     E
It was the windows to the life I used to lead
          D                            A
I used to ramble like a feather in the breeze
                 G          D                       A
But nowadays the good times ain't what they used to be

Back home on those backroad, everybody's movin' slow
'Til I hit that highway just as fast as I could go
I think that high road's been cacthin' up to me
'Cause nowadays the good times, Lord, ain't what they used to be

CHORUS:
               D               G    A
And nowadays I dream of an old cane pole
                E  D                        E
My baby's sweet tea and my favorite fishin' hole
                   D                   G     A
I sit down on that bank underneath the shade tree
                     G          D                             A
And I thank God the good times, Lord, ain't what they used to be

G  O: D  A  E   D   E

                   D                   G     A
I sit down on that bank underneath the shade tree
                     G          D                             A
And I thank God the good times, Lord, ain't what they used to be
                G          D
I thank God the good times ain't what they used to be
