Biography:
John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is absolutely amazing, for me its about how right now is 'the goodle days' and
people spend too much time worrying about how the whole world is fucked to ever enjoy
while its here.
The intro stuff is basically the banjo in Bm pentatonic.
Verse 1:
D D
One day about twenty-five years from now,
G A
When we've all grown old from a-wondering how,
F#m Bm
Oh we'll all sit down at the city dump,
E A
And talk about the Goodle Days.
F#m Bm
Oh you'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine,
G A
And anything good from a-down the line.
F#m Bm
A lot of good things went down one time,
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.
Chorus:
F#m Bm
And the Good Old Days are past and gone.
G A
A lot of good people have done gone on.
F#m Bm
That's my life when I sing this song about
G D
Back in the Goodle Days
Verse 2:
D D
Sometimes I get to thinkin' that we're almost done,
G A
And there ain't nothin' left that we can figure out.
F#m Bm
And I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that
E A
Back in the Goodle Days,
F#m Bm
But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
G A
There's always somebody don'tcha know,
F#m Bm
A-hangin' round a-sayin' "Well I told you so",
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.
Chorus
Verse 3:
D D
Oh we'll all join hands and we'll gather round,
G A
When that old guitar starts to make that sound.
F#m Bm
A lot of good things went down downtown,
E A
Back in the Goodle Days.
F#m Bm
Squeezin' love with the people that we hadn't even met,
G A
Out for anything that we could get.
F#m Bm
Oh we did it then and we'll do it yet,
G D
Back in the Goodle Days.
Chorus
End.
