Intro: G  D  Am  C 
  
 G                        D 
Don't you remember, the fizz in a pepper  
 Am                     G             D 
Peanuts in a bottle at ten, two and four  
    G                           D 
A fried bologna sandwich with mayo and tomato  
 Am                            G               D 
Sittin' round the table don't happen much anymore  
        Em                       A7 
We got too complicated It's all way over-rated  
             C                         D  
I like the old and out-dated way of life  
 
Chorus:
 G            D 
Back when a hoe was a hoe  
 C 
Coke was a coke  
      G 
And crack's what you were doing  
                         D 
When you were cracking jokes  
              D 
Back when a screw was a screw  
     C 
The wind was all that blew  
      G 
And when you said I'm down with that  
                           D 
Well it meant you had the flu  
             Am 
I miss back when  
              C 
I miss back when  
              G  D 
I miss back when

 Am                                G                 D 
Clicks and pops and white noise, man they sounded fine  
 G                            D 
I had my favorite stations, the ones that played them all  
 Am                                    G                 D 
Country, soul and rock-and-roll what happened to those times?  
              Em                                     A7 
I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies cause they put pop 
in my country  
          C                     D               G 
I want more for my money, the way it was back then  
  
Chorus:
 G            D 
Back when a hoe was a hoe  
 C 
Coke was a coke  
      G 
And crack's what you were doing  
                         D 
When you were cracking jokes  
              D 
Back when a screw was a screw  
     C 
The wind was all that blew  
      G 
And when you said I'm down with that  
                           D 
Well it meant you had the flu  
             Am 
I miss back when  
              C 
I miss back when  
              G D 
I miss back when

           Em 
Give me a flat top for strumming  
             A7 
I want the whole world to be humming  
 C                         D             G 
Just keep it coming, the way it was back then
