Verse 1
We used to (F major)
play jump the line,
Or (E minor) who could wrap the (D minor) swing around the frame the most times,
back in the day,
(F major) Riding our bikes around the (E minor) estate and (D minor) playin' basketball in the cage,
those were the days,
(F major) I remember them wa (E minor) ter fights,
the (D minor) tap outside,
Used to race to it on our bikes.
Grinnin' with two (F major) front teeth missin',
(E minor) (D minor) those days were al (A minor) right.
(F major) Knock down ginger,
(E minor) knock knock then (D minor) shift.
Two minutes later we got locked in the lift,
(F major) Laughin' when we got (E minor) out ,
Got into (D minor) silly arguments about who
found the pound on the ground,
(F major) Bopped to the shops bought (E minor) about ten (D minor) ice pops,
The weather was hot so they
melted in our pockets,
Used to (F major) carry my belongings in them
(E minor) McDonald's (D minor) bumbags.
That was back then so boy
don't (A minor) mock it.

Verse 2
[Chor (F major) us]
Yeah, yeah. (E minor)
(D minor) Yo those were the days
I will never forget.

Yeah, (F major) yeah. (E minor)
(D minor) Yo those were the days
I will never forget.
Yeah, (F major) yeah. (E minor) (D minor)
Yo those were the days.
(A minor) Used
Verse 3
(F major) to race down the hill in old (E minor)
(D minor) Safeway Trollets.
I wasn't indoors playing
with Barbies or dollies,
(F major) I was outside jumpin' (E minor) off walls
or (D minor) playin' football,
Or getting chased by the local pit bull,
(F major) The odd character that
(E minor) every borough had,
(D minor) Mad Phillip, Gingerbeard, or Mad Max,
The (F major) faces you wouldn't wanna see
(E minor) when you're on your jacks,
In the (D minor) places you wouldn't be in if
you stuck to your (A minor) packs,
Stayed (F major) out till it was pitch (E minor) black,
Sprayed my (D minor) name on concrete slabs,
And I never got bitch-slapped.
Seen (F major) Seen a couple of mans get (E minor) stabbed,
Been chased (D minor) by the mad man,
Gotta get back so I can
Catch (F major) joke with my next door neigh (E minor) bor,
We played (D minor) the first Mortal
Kombat on the (F major) Sega,
Playing the latest jungle (E minor) tunes
we had (D minor) on cassette,
Those were the day I will never forget.
(A minor) (F major) (E minor) (D minor)

Verse 4
naf naf jack
(D minor) ets and spliffy jeans,
Adidas campus,
them things were in,
It wasn't about (E minor) the king of (D minor) the bling,
It was the king of the rim,
or the king of the swing.
(F major) Back then, well I (E minor) kind has (D minor) less.
But less was much better
'cause it saved a lot of stress.
I (F major) hung out in Coffers community (E minor) center,
(D minor) Now they've knocked it down
and replaced it with (A minor) an (F major) Asda.
My parents way of telling
(E minor) us to get our (D minor) backs in
Was them sounding some
old fucking claxon.
We're (F major) soldier marched back
up (E minor) to Redcliffe Walk,
Chalkhill (D minor) Estate don't exist no more,
It's just (A minor) (D minor)
(A minor) (G major) (D minor) talk.
[Chorus] (F major)
