G D Em7
When marriages and trucks don't last,
Cadd9 D G
and John Deere's just a thing of the past
G D Em7
When steel guitars and fiddles fade...
Cadd9 D G
I hope I don't live to see that day.
G D Em7
When boy's stop shakin' old mens hands,
Cadd9 D G
don't open doors or say yes ma'am.
G D Em7
When no one stands as the anthem plays...
Cadd9 D G
I hope I don't live to see that day.
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
So just call me old school, I know it ain't cool.
Cadd9 G D
But there's some of us that still believe in that golden rule.
Cadd9 G Em7
There's some things you shouldn't change, and
Em7
if they go away...
Cadd9 D G
I hope I don't live to see that day.
[Verse 2]
G D Em7
When tree's are gone and fields ain't green,
Cadd9 D G
A hard day's work ain't worth a thing.
G D Em7
When no one bows their head to pray...
Cadd9 D G
I hope I don't live to see that day.
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
So just call me old school, I know it ain't cool.
Cadd9 G D
But there's some of us that still believe in that golden rule.
Cadd9 G Em7
There's some things you shouldn't change, and
Em7
if they go away...
Cadd9 D G
I hope I don't live to see that day.
[Verse 3]
G D Em7
When the last small town boards up its doors,
Cadd9 D G
and the old men don't drink beer no more.
G D Em7
When there's no more heart in the home of the brave...
Cadd9 D G
I hope I don't live to see that day,
Cadd9 D G
I hope I don't live to see that day.
