Things We Did Alright
(written by: Wayne Mills)
Intro: A F#m B7 E
A F#m B7
Last night an old friend called me up and said put your clothes on son
D E A E
Come out and meet me I’m watchin’ Rollin’ in the Hay
A F#m B7
We sat talked all night long about him, his son, and his wife
D E A E
And how the years just seem to slip away
(Chorus)
A D A F#m
Last night we were drinkin’ beer, talkin’ ‘bout our younger years
B7 E A E
And all the things we thought we did alright
A D A F#m
Like pickin’ guitars in the moonlight, sittin’ by a fire
B7 E A E
Smoozin’ on the girls we really love
(Solo) A F#m B7 D E A E
A F#m B7
Now we’re both married men, seems we’re done with our wilder ways
D E A E
To say we’ve come this far well I am amazed
A F#m B7
But who’s to say that we don’t deserve the good things in our lives
D E A E
Just because we had a little fun along the ride
(Chorus)
D A
We’d throw on our overalls and head to the river bank
D A
Fish and drink until the break of dawn
D A F#m
Now he’s got a pretty wife and child, hey I gotta pretty wife too
B7 E
But to say we’re done with our care free days oh son you’d be a fool
(Chorus)
Repeat first line of chorus
