Things Aint What They Was

Dm
Said the wind came on so fast and 
strong
                                 A
we did not have the time to find the
 same, mmmm
Dm
Oh, and down below the ground
G              A7                
we sat and watched that Virgin 
       Dm
Mary candle burn,

[Verse 2]
Dm                                
When a thousand marching bands at 
                          A
almost dawn we opened up the door, 
mmmm
         G
said now everything we've ever know 
was gone-
 G        A7                  Dm
Things ain't what they was before

[Verse 3]
Dm
She met him on a Friday night-
                               A7
By Sunday afternoon they'd run away,
 mmmm
G                           
Well I pieced it all together 
          A7
Wednesday evening-
                     Dm
with a postcard from L.A.

[Verse 4]
Dm                                
Thursday morning came and found me
                           A
 on the ground behind old lover's 
bar,
Dm
said the only love I'd ever known 
was gone-
G               A7          Dm
Things ain't what they was before

[Verse 5]
Bb                         A7
Oh, Lord I don't mind the change in 
time
Dm     C        G
setters of the storm, oh no
Gm7
when that new moon shines on you-
G               A7          Dm
Things ain't what they was before

Dm
With whiskey on my breath
      A
I sang a song about a love that I 
once knew, mmmm
Dm                                
and the pain in that refrain took 
       G
on the meaning
     A7                  Dm
when she walked into the room,

Dm
ooohhhh she told me she was sorry-
        A
she could not live without me 
anymore, oh oh
G
said the only love she'd ever known 
was gone,
G               A7          Dm
Things ain't what they was before

Bb                         A7
Oh, Lord I don't mind the change in 
time
Dm     C        G
setters of the storm, oh no
Gm7
when that new moon shines on you-
G               A7          Dm
Things ain't what they was before

Dm
Now eternity had passed without a 
word-
            A
she gently took my hand,
Dm
said this ain't no rebound love 
affair-
G               A7          Dm
I don't want no one night stand, 
mmmm

Dm                       G       
I pushed back from the bar with 
                    A
my guitar now and I headed for the 
door,
G
oooohhh I ain't nobody's stepping 
stone no more,
G               A7          Dm
Things ain't what they was before

na na na oohh oh
Bb                         A7
Oh, Lord I don't mind the change in 
time
Dm     C        G
setters of the storm, oh no
Gm7
when that new moon shines on you-
G               A7          Dm
Things ain't what they was before
