Then And Now Chords & Lyrics - Lake Fork Verne

Long [D]ago, when [G]I was [D]small
Before computers and [A]TV
We [D]made it with hardly [G]anything at [D]all
How we did, is hard for [A]me to [D]see

We had coal oil lights and [G]heating [D]stoves
Lanterns and hand pumped water [A]wells
Stacked [D]firewood in [G]long, long [D]rows
It was not easy [A]I am here to [D]tell

And when you [G]were [D]sick
The doctor came to see [A]you
Most [D]people couldnt [G]get to [D]town
So the town [A]came to [D]you

We had the huckster man [G]every few [D]days
Brought candy, coal-oil, cough syrup and shoe [A]strings
A [D]few farm fresh eggs [G]paid our [D]way
So we did get some [A]extra [D]things

Some pine for the [G]good ole [D]days
I have lived both [G]then and [A]now
Considering [D]all in [G]I [D]say
The good ole [A]days are right [D]now
