Where Have All The Good Times Gone ?           The Kinks         Ray Davies
====================================


Intro:  G F D   G F D  (crashing)

      G            F                G             F
Well, in my life I never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
G           F                G            F
Open up and shout it out and never try to sing
C                   A      G
Wondering if I done wrong
     F                        D     / / /
Will this impression last too long?        But...


Chorus:
              G       F
    Won't you tell me
    G                  F          G      F
    Where have all the good times gone?
    G                  F          G      F
    Where have all the good times gone?

      G              F             G               F
Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
G              F              G             F
Time was on my side and I had everything to gain
C              A         G
Let it be like yesterday
F                        D  / / /
Please let me have happy days        And...


Chorus


G            F               G                   F
Ma & Pa look back at all the things they used to do
G              F              G               F
Didn't have no money and they always told the truth
C                    A    G
Daddy didn't have no toys
F                        D
And Mommy didn't need no boys.


Chorus ending in  G F D  G F D / / / / /   (crashing)


G             F            G               F
Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
G                  F                  G      F
But lets face it - things are so much easier today
C                            A    G
Guess you need some bringin' down
F                             D      / / /
And get your feet back on the ground


Chorus ending in  G F D  G F D / / / / /  G  (crashing)

As a guitar professional, I have to say that while this is a solid start for anyone looking to learn "Where Have All The Good Times Gone," there's a lack of depth in the instructional detail. If you're presenting chord progressions like G, F, D, it would help to include some context on strumming patterns or finger placements that reflect the song's feel. Many beginner guitarists might struggle to capture the essence of the original track just with this basic info. Consider adding tips for transitioning between these chords smoothly, or maybe even a brief breakdown of the song's structure to enhance the learning experience. This could really elevate the quality of your content for those serious about mastering guitar skills.
