[G]Up in the bar all smoking cigars
While we were drinking Irish whiskey straight fr[Am]from the jar
[Em]Talkin' 'bout them better days are not that far
Whoever's coming back to mine you better bring t[C]the guitar
[G]You play a sad song, yea sing it from the heart
Tell a sad story, yea tell it from the[Am]the start
[Em]Pass me on the pain that you made into art
Yea, piercin' through my skin like a hero[C]heroin dart
[G]When someone's strummin' on the strings and they're spittin' things,
Everybody's movin' groovin' vibes when the [Am]other sings
[Em]They gon' kill you with their passion and their soul
When the first verse drops, you'll be fightin' back [C]the tears and all
[G]While another man's crying in his beers and all
While his woman's sayin' cheers to it[Am]it all
[Em]Ain't no shame in the game, just the way we were raised
For all we sing about better days, bet[C]better days
[G]Ooo hoo Ooo hoo[Am]hoo
[Em]Oh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray
Cause in the future these will be the good ol' d[C]days
[G]Ooo hoo Ooo ho[Am]hoo
[Em]Oh and we're arm in arm as we sing away
In the future this will be the good ol' [C]days
[G]Ten o'clock and it's off, what started as a pub crawl
Now we're all l[Am]lost
[Em]Better live it out tonight, tomorrow's gonna cost
So get up on that piano boy and play your a[C]ass off
[G]You're playing real good, everybody sing along
If your bang is out of beat, everybody move[Am]move along
[Em]Play us somethin' real we can hang our hopes on
Sing a rebel song and watch us march along
Won't [C]you come along? (Oh, these times are hard)
[G]Yeah, meet Jenny, meet Pete, meet Mary, meet Keith
They're bustin' on the streets seven days[Am]days a week
[Em]Pay a pound, pay a penny, make it full or leave it empty
They play, you listen, that's [C]plenty
[G]It's two am now, we're dancing in the rain and uh
Hanging out of each other like the pain [Am]is gone
[Em]These are my people, these are my crowd
And I'm never too proud to si[C]sing about
[G]Ooo hoo Ooo hoo[Am]hoo
[Em]Oh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray
Cause in the future these will be the good ol' d[C]days
[G]Ooo hoo Ooo ho[Am]hoo
[Em]Oh and we're arm in arm as we sing away
In the future this will be the good ol' [C]days [X8]
