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 
Am                      E 
But time just slipped away 
Am                    E 
Remember seize the day 

Bm                   Bm/A 
Life goes by in the blink of an eye 
       Bm/Ab      Bm/F#  E 
With so much left to say 

A               A9 
These were the best of times 
A                 Em 
I'll miss these days 
F             C              E4 E 
Your spirit lit my life each day 

Bm                 Am   F#m 
Thank you for the inspiration 
Am                   E 
Thank you for the smiles 
Bm                 Am   F#m 
All the unconditional love 
Am                     E 
That carried me for miles 
Am                    E 
it carried me for miles 

Bm              Bm/A        Bm/Ab  Bm/F#  E 
But most of all thank you for my life 

A                  A9 
These were the best of times 
A                 Em 
I'll miss these days 
F                C            E4  E 
Your spirit lit my life each day 

A             A9 
My heart is bleeding bad 
A           Em 
But I'll be ok 
F            C                 E4  E 
Your spirit guides my life each day
