Same Old Song
K. Kristofferson
Album: Spooky Lady's Sideshow
[Intro]
D
DI was just a young man, workin' steady in a good time band
Pickin' every single little Bmlick I could, Ejust to please the Aman
DHarlan sang the lead for half and Gwe split up the Drest
Hangin' on thru the heavy times and Chopin' Gfor the Dbest
I Gcan't recall the Anames of A/Gall them Dplaces that we played in
AAll them squirrely party girls and Gpills we used to Dpop
GHardly ever Asleepin' in A/Gthem Dcheap motels we Bmstayed in
EHopin' we could take it 'til we'd Amake it to the top
[Chorus]
And them Dnights got a little bit Gbrighter
And them Abars got a little bit Dbetter
And the sweet just a little bit Gsweeter
But them Ablues.....are still the still old Dsong
(KEY CHANGE TO E)
ENow we're stars shinin' on them prime time TV shows
Every stranger C#mknows our name and F#every little where we Bgo
EFindin' out the bottom ain't so Adifferent from the Etop
Just a few more friends you'd be Dlosin' Awhen you Edrop
And I Aleft some of my Bsoul on B/Aevery Dsweaty sheet that I could sleep on
BGettin' just as close to anyAbody as I Dcould
I Adon't regret a Bsingle bet B/AI've Elaid my body C#mdown on
F#Ever since the first I had, the Bworst I had was good
[Chorus]
And them Enights get a little bit Abrighter
And them Bbars get a little bit Abetter
And the Esweet just a little bit Asweeter
But them Bblues......well it's still the same old Esong D  A  E
