D#
Put the van tape on
Cm
Bay at the moon
A#
Rub each other down so good
G#
Forget about the tune that's playing
D#
Joan went east
Cm
And she went west
A#
I stayed right here in the middle
G#
That's where I liked it best
Cm D#
Oh The good times we had
G#
Wouldn't worry about tomorrow
A#
'Cause tonight was all we had
Cm D#
Oh The good times we knew
G#
I'd tell you about them baby
A#
But you were there, you were with me, too
D# Cm G# A#
And it felt so good
D# Cm
Funny how you look back on all the times we had
A# G#
Remember all the good ones, forget about all the bad
D# Cm
Hanging out day after day in the hole in the wall
A# G#
Things that seem to be so big then now somehow seems so small

Cm D#
Oh The good times we had
G#
Wouldn't worry about tomorrow
A#
'Cause tonight was all we had
Cm D#
Oh The good times we knew
G#
I'd tell you about them baby
A#
But you were there, you were with me, too
G# A#
The heart is a hunter, the heart is a friend
Gm A#
Searching the shadows, searching 'til the end
G# A#
I heard she married a guy from the valley
Cm’ D#’
Not for the glory but because he was a friend
Cm A#
When the fire burn out, and the waters run dry
G# A#
The mountains have fallen, we'll remember those times
Cm A#
The seasons roll by, and the youth slips away
G# A#
The glory has faded, then what will we say?
Cm D#
Oh The good times we had
G#
Wouldn't worry about tomorrow
A#
'Cause tonight was all we had
Cm D#
Oh The good times we knew
G#
I'd tell you about them baby
A#
But you were there, you were with me, too
(Repeat Chorus) ---Fade Out---
Chords: (easiest way to do this is with a cappo on the first fret covering strings E
B G D and A, so you can play the D# as an open chord)

biggest songs.
