Some Things Never Change

 C                G         F    
Risin' time's at five, the red 
            C
sun is still sleepin'
    F            C           G
My pillow is my saddle, the stars 
are my ceilin'
    C            G            
My whole body's achin', I got a 
   F                  C
young colt needin' breakin'
        F               C      F 
But ya know I can't complain, 
        G                 C      G
thank God some things never change


C                              
There's a storm somewhere that's 
   G          F              
brewin' as these old bones are 
     C
creakin'
     F                 C        F
The cows will soon be down and 
               G
that old roof a leakin'
       C                     G    
Got a truck that needs some 
            F              C
tendin' and some fences needin' 
mendin'

       F                  C       
And I know it must sound strange, 
     F         G              
but thank God some things never 
   C      G
change

[Chorus]
      F                            
They fenced in all the free land 
   C
and oil wells run the range
 F                             
Long gone are the cattle drives 
             C
since they brought in the trains
         Dm              
But the hard work and the 
  F                   C
friendships still remain
 F         G                 C   
Thank God some things never 
    G
change


 C              G              
Out here where nature rules each 
   F                 C
day's a different battle
     F                C   G
And it still takes a man workin' in 
the saddle
       C                G      F 
No machine can break a bay or 
                C
bring in a lonely stray
      F              C     F     
So I guess I will remain, thank 
    G                 C       G
God some things never change

[Chorus]
         F                         
Yeah it looks like this old cowboy 
        G
will remain
 F         G                 C
Thank God some things never change
