Well, I  re-mem-ber
                  D7

when I  was just children,
                    
7 7     7    7   7  7
A time, when the people

7    -6 7     -6    7  7
used to treat their neighbors
                     E7

like a fellow man. -
             A

Them all day singin's and them
            D7
8b  7      -6  7
big prayer meetin's
               A 
7   -6 7   7   7     -6 7    7
when a man was proud to walk up

Oh, if you ever needed help,
              E7

 a friend was the-re.
          D7

Some good neighbor would help

                    A
7    8       8     -8  7
your friends would sha-re.


VERSE 2:
But the times are harder
and the people are changin'.
Today most folks couldn't tell ya
who their next door neighbors are.
All the guns are loaded
the front doors are bolted.
Ain't this old world takin' hate and fear
just a little too far?

CHORUS 2:
Let's Talk About The Good Times.
Let's Talk About The Good Times.
I wish I could just go back to the days
I'm speakin' of.
When a friend would meet you
and a smile would greet you,
What this old world needs now
is more old fashioned love.

VERSE 3:
Well, my old Grand-Daddy,
God rest his soul now.
Well, we had a big long talk
together the day he died.
He said; "Son this world is so full
of hate and venom
And I can't wait to leave this ol' place
and rest on the other side."

CHORUS 3:
" 'Cause you talk about a good time,
talk about a good time,
Well, I'm gonna see all the friends
I knew in the good old days.
We'll have a big hand shakin',
and sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan
and sing our cares away."
