Same Old Song

D

D
I was just a young man, workin' 
steady in a good time band
                            Bm     
Pickin' every single little lick I 
       E                  A
could, just to please the man
D                                 
Harlan sang the lead for half and 
G               D
we split up the rest
Hangin' on thru the heavy times and 
C      G       D
hopin' for the best

  G                A        A/G  
I can't recall the names of all 
    D
them places that we played in
A                                  
All them squirrely party girls and 
G                D
pills we used to pop
G           A           A/G  D 
Hardly ever sleepin' in them 
              Bm
cheap motels we stayed in
E                                 
Hopin' we could take it 'til we'd 
A
make it to the top

[Chorus]
         D                      
And them nights got a little bit 
 G
brighter
         A                    
And them bars got a little bit 
 D
better
And the sweet just a little bit 
G
sweeter
         A

(KEY CHANGE TO E)
E
Now we're stars shinin' on them 
prime time TV shows
               C#m                
Every stranger knows our name and 
F#                    B
every little where we go
E                             
Findin' out the bottom ain't so 
  A                  E
different from the top
Just a few more friends you'd be 
D      A        E
losin' when you drop

      A               B       B/A
And I left some of my soul on 
   D
every sweaty sheet that I could 
sleep on
B                           A    
Gettin' just as close to anybody 
     D
as I could
  A              B          B/A  
I don't regret a single bet I've 
E            C#m
laid my body down on
F#                            
Ever since the first I had, the 
  B
worst I had was good

[Chorus]
         E                      
And them nights get a little bit 
 A
brighter
         B                    
And them bars get a little bit 
 A
better
        E                      
And the sweet just a little bit 
 A
sweeter
         B                         
But them blues......well it's still
              E     D  A  E
 the same old song
