Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 D U D U U D U U D U U D U
1-+-2-+-3-+-4-+-1-+-2-+-3-+-4-+-1
 (Hope that helps. Play downstrokes of the chords on the 'D' symbol and upstrokes
 on the U symbol, the numbers are each beat and the plus symbols are each half beat)
 Goin' back  to the place
Where  it  all started  from
 Gonna see  my old friends try  and  have  a little  fun
 Wouldn't  that be nice,
 Wouldn't  that be nice
 Goin' back to the way that it once used to be
 Have a couple drinks and wander aimlessly
 Just like old times
 Yeah just like old times
 (next verse same chords but strumming pattern changes to simple Down Up Down)
 And maybe see the changes in me
 Remember where I've been and never go back again
 Maybe see the changes in me
 Make no mistake
 There's plenty of those to make
Never  never  never goin'  back
Never  ever  ever goin'  back
  (Back to normal pattern)
 Goin' back to the place where my lover and I met
 I can give her all I got
 She can ring my little neck just like old times
 Just like old times
 Goin' back to the time when I didn't need a thing
 Just the tappin' of my foot and a little song to sing
 That'll do just fine
 Yeah that'll do just fine
  (different pattern again)
 And maybe meet a little lady
 Tell me where I go, tell me where I come
 Take me anytime you like hon'
 Take me as I am or as who I might become
 Never ever ever goin' back
 Never ever ever goin' back
 (normal pattern for the outro)
 Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back
 Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back
 Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back...
