[Intro]
G D C D
[Verse 1]
G D G D G
I’m sitting by the fireside and turning back the years
C G D
I can hear my mother singing in the morning
G D G D G
As she scrubbed our shining faces and then sent us off to school
C G D G
All too soon those days were over without warning
[Chorus]
G C G
So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days
G D
Days filled with innocence and light
G C G
Not a penny to our name we were happy just the same
G D G
In our gold and silver days
[Verse 2]
G D G D G
In the parlor on a Friday night my dad would took the floor
C G D
I can hear us join together in the chorus
G D G D G
Singing "Just a Song at Twilight" and "The Moon Behind the Hill"
C G D G
Now those voices all are silent gone before us
[Chorus]
G C G
So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days
G D
Days filled with innocence and light
G C G
Not a penny to our name we were happy just the same
G D G
In our gold and silver days
[Verse 3]
G D G D G
We gathered at the Daisy Field on Sundays after Mass
C G D
And we danced to Johnny Quigley and the Royals
G D G D G
Through the years we all were scattered but those friends were good and true
C G D G
Always there when they were needed always loyal
[Chorus]
G C G
So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days
G D
Days filled with innocence and light
G C G
Not a penny to our name we were happy just the same

In our gold and silver days
