Verse 1
C 
G 
Well,
I remember when
C 
I was just children,
G 
a time when people used to
treat their neighbors
D 
like fellow men.
G 
Them all -day singings
C 
and them big prayer meetings,
G 
when a man was proud to walk up
D 
G 
and shake his neighbor's hand.
C 
Well, you talk about the good times,
G 
talk about the good times
Oh, if you ever needed help,
A 
D 
a friend was there
G 
C 
Some good neighbor
G 
would help lift your burden
Em 
G 
D 
Oh, and the simple joys of life
G 
your friend would share
But the times are harder,
C 
and the people are changin'
G 
Take most folks couldn't tell you
D 
who the next -door neighbors are
G 
All the guns are loaded,
C 
the front doors are bolted
G 
Ain't this old world takin' hate
D 
and fear
G 
just a little too far?
C 
Let's talk about a good time,
G 
let's talk about a good time
If I could just go back to the
A 
D 
days I'm speakin' of
G 
C 
When a friend would meet you,
G 
and a smile would greet you
Em 
G 
What this old world needs now
D 
is some old -fashioned
G 
C 
G 
love
D 
G 
C 
G 
Well, my old granddaddy,
C 
God rest his soul now
G 
Well, we had a big long talk
D 
together the day he died
G 
He said, thunder, swirl, gears,
C 
so full of hate and venom,
G 
I can't wait to leave this old place
and rest on the other side.
C 
Well, talk about a good time,
G 
talk about a good time,
A 
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew
D 
in the good old days.
G 
C 
We'll have a big handshake
G 
and sit and talk together,
Em 
G 
sit down by the river Jordan
D 
G 
and sing, I can't wait.
C 
Well, talk about a good time,

A 
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew
D

G 
C 
We'll have a big handshake

Em 
G 
Sit down by the riverside
D

and sing our cares away
C 
Let's talk about a good time,
Bb 
talk about a good time,
G 
talk about a good time
