The Best Of Times

E
Remember days of yesterday
B
How it flew so fast
G
The two score and the year we had
A
I thought would always last

E
The summer days and west coast dreams
B
I wished would never end
D
A young boy and his father
A
Idol and best friend

F#m                A
I'll always remember
                B         E
Those were the best of times
F#m               A
A lifetime together
                 E
I'll never forget

E
The morning shows on the radio
B
The Case of the Missing Dog
G
Lying on the pillows at the old 812
A
Watching Harold and Maude

E
The record shops, the stickball fields
B
My home away from home
D
And when we weren't together
A
The hours on the phone

F#m                A
I'll always remember
               B          E
Those were the best of times
F#m                     A
I'll cherish them forever
             B
The best of times

C#m          B          A
     But then came the call
C#m          B          A
     Our lives change forever more
C#m       D#m          A
     "You can pray for a change
            F#m            E
    But prepared for the end... "

Bm                    Am   F#m
The fleeting wings of time
Am                   E
Flying through each day
Bm                     Am   F#m
All the things I should've done

But time just slipped away
Am                    E
Remember seize the day
