Kris Kristofferson – Same Old Song (Guitar)

D
I was just a young man, workin' steady in a good time band

                            Bm            E                  A
Pickin' every single little lick I could, just to please the man

D                                 G               D
Harlan sang the lead for half and we split up the rest

                                    C      G       D
Hangin' on thru the heavy times and hopin' for the best

  G                A        A/G      D
I can't recall the names of all them places that we played in

A                                  G                D
All them squirrely party girls and pills we used to pop

G           A           A/G  D               Bm
Hardly ever sleepin' in them cheap motels we stayed in

E                                 A
Hopin' we could take it 'til we'd make it to the top

         D                       G
And them nights got a little bit brighter

         A                     D
And them bars got a little bit better

                                G
And the sweet just a little bit sweeter

         A                                 D
But them blues.....are still the still old song

E 
Now we're stars shinin' on them prime time TV shows

               C#m                F#                    B
Every stranger knows our name and every little where we go

E                               A                  E
Findin' out the bottom ain't so different from the top

                                 D      A        E
Just a few more friends you'd be losin' when you drop

      A               B       B/A   D 
And I left some of my soul on every sweaty sheet that I could sleep on

B                           A         D
Gettin' just as close to anybody as I could

  A              B          B/A  E            C#m
I don't regret a single bet I've laid my body down on

F#                              B
Ever since the first I had, the worst I had was good

         E                       A
And them nights get a little bit brighter

         B                     A
And them bars get a little bit better

        E                       A
And the sweet just a little bit sweeter

         B                                       E     D  A  E
But them blues......well it's still the same old song
