[Intro]
G  D  Am  C

[Verse 1]
G                         D
  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've gotten    too complicated It's all   way overrated
           C                         D
I like the   old and outdated way of life

[Chorus]
G             D
  Back when a hoe was a hoe
C
Coke was a coke
     G
And crack's what you were doing
                        D
When you were cracking jokes
             D
Back when a screw was a screw
    C
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
I miss back when
             C
I miss back when
             G     D
I miss back when

[Verse 2]
G                     D
  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                                        A7
I'm readin'    street slang for dummies cause they put   pop in my country
       C                         D               G
I want,   more for my money, the way it was back then

[Chorus]
=            D
Back when a hoe was a hoe
C
Coke was a coke
     G
And crack's what you were doing
                        D
When you were cracking jokes
             D
Back when a screw was a screw
    C
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
I miss back when
             C
I miss back when
             G  D  Am  G  D
I miss back when


[Bridge]
          Em
Give me a    flat top for strumming
            A7
I want the     whole world to be humming
    C                         D               G
ohh  Just keep it coming, the way it was back then

[Chorus]
            D
Back when a hoe was a hoe
C
Coke was a coke
     G
And crack's what you were doing
                        D
When you were cracking jokes
             D
Back when a screw was a screw
    C
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
I miss back when
             C
I miss back when
             G     D
I miss back when

            Am                 C
I miss back when, I miss back when

[Outro]
G  D  Am  C
