VERSE:
A         D
 Wearing coveralls
A          D                A
 That man made it all look easy
             D                G        D
Working his table saw like a pro-oo-oo-oo
          A
And he'd say


PD-C HORUS:
 A            D
Son, it's an old machine
A          D                      A
 And the gears stay clean pretty easy
             D                 G        D
But it gets real mean when you go-oo-oo-oo
              A   D
Against the grain

G          D          A
 I look around and I see


CHORUS:
           D
Boots on Broadway
A            D          A
 They ain't even broken in
           D              G        D
Life on a walkway ain't no li-i-i-ife
       A
Maybe I'm

                D
Steeped in the old ways
A            D            A
 Mine never see a closet, if
                D                G        D
These were the old days you might fi-i-i-ind

          A
More like my

Boots on Broadway


VERSE:
 A         D
Doing the Nashville thing
A            D                      A
 Wanting to sing and play, nothing cheesy
           D                      G          D
Writing a different way from the soul-ou-ou-oul
            A
And they'd say

Son, it's an old machine

Life is an old machine
A          D                      A
 And the gears stay clean pretty easy
