Gold And Silver Days,Lyrics And guitar Chords
Written by Phil Coulter and recorded by Paddy Reilly, Foster And Allen, Ronnie Drew and Philomena Begley, great song. I have included the guitar chords in two sets of keys including the key that Paddy Reilly plays in in the youtube video. Also included is another song from the album called Kilty with the chords. Paddy Reilly's biggest hit will always be The Fields Of Athenry Song which he also recorded when he hooked up with The Dubliners for a spell. The word Days is used in many song titles including Thank You For The Days By The Kinks which was also recorded by Irish folk singer Luke Kelly.

Song Words And Chords In The Key Of D Major
[D]As I sit here[A] by the [D]fireside
I'm turning[A] back the [D]years.
I can [G]hear my mother[D] singing in the morn[A]ing
As she[D] scrubbed our[A] shining [D]faces
And then packed us [A]off to [D]school.
All too[G] soon those days were[D] over with[A]out warn[D]ing.
So [D]sing me the songs of our[G] gold and silver[D] days,
Days filled with innocence and [A]light.
Not a [D]penny to our name,
We were [G]happy just the[D] same
In our gold and[G] silver[D] days.
In the parlour on a Friday night,
My father took the floor.
I can hear us join together in the chorus,
Singing "Just a Song at Twilight"
And "The Moon behind the Hill".
Now those voices are all silenced, gone before us
We gathered at the Daisy Field
On Sunday afternoon,
And we danced to Johnny Quigley and the Royal.
Through the years we all were scattered,
But our friends were good and true,
Always there when they were needed, always loyal
[D]As I sit here[A] by the [D]fireside
