"better times"

words and music by a. fering
solo guitar, g. johnson

preformed by the band, allusion

intro:  rhythm guitar only

G  D  C  G

ok, here's where you sing too, it's tough...
everyone else in the band comes in here too,
bass slide down.

[G]do you remember[D]when we were friends
[C]sittin around, not doin' [G]anything.

[g]those days are gone [d]just a memory
[c]kind of wish that, you were here and
[g]we could talk again

now do the damn progression:

G D C G

[g]do you remember[d]the times we had?
[c]i'd sell my soul[g]for just a minute that

[g]those times are gone[d]and far behind
[c]they're non-existant[g]but they're in my mind

now do the progression twice, and greg does his solo shit.
just improvise, if you can't make anything fit, you need lessons.

G D C G
G D C G

[g]we'll never be[d]like we were before
[c]but don't forget[g]you're welcome at my door

[g]there were better times[d]when the world was mine
[c]but nothing holds true[g]it's all a big decline

G D C G

rhythm guitar again, and voice, light light percussion

1st verse, ending with a decreshendow mama.

(clap clap clap, cheering, panties on the stage)

you did good!
