Riley Green – Behind The Times (Guitar)

C
The bill on his old ball cap

         G
Was bent like an A-frame house

       Am           G                    F
He was sittin' on a park bench with some beechnut in his mouth

      C
Said "no one reads the paper,

      G
These days it's all online"

    F                             C    F C F
But there he was - behind the times

   C
He looked up from the front page

      G
Said "This world's done gone to hell

Am                     G            F
  I usually don't talk politics but as far as I can tell

         C
We could use another Reagan

     G
Boy, he was one of a kind"

        F                                C
Then he shook his head - behind the times

    G             F                        C
And he said "Son, you're still young, save half of what you make

G                  F                C
Trust the Lord, go buy a Ford or at least a Chevrolet

                              C/B             Am         Am7/G     F
And when you find a good girl keep her, cause they don't grow on vines"

        C                   G        F                  C  F
Yeah, a man could learn a lot from a man behind the times

              C
He said I've only kissed one woman

         G
Went to church on our first date

Am                  G                       F
  I held the door, held her hand back when free love was a rage

C                                       G
  I waited 'til the honeymoon, and that suited me just fine

  F                           C
I guess I was, behind the times

     G             F                       C
And he said "Son, you're still young, but trust me when I say

    G                    F                      C
Go hug your mama 'cause, boy, I promise: you'll wish you could someday

                              C/B               Am         Am7/G F
And when you find a good girl keep her, cause they don't grow on vines"

        C                   G        F                  C  F  C  F
Yeah, a man could learn a lot from a man behind the times

   G                          F                  C
He folded up that paper said "I better get on home

        Am             G                      F
I don't wanna keep her waiting when she's got supper on

         C                 C/B           Am         F
When you find a good girl keep her, just like I did mine"

        C                  G         F                  G
Yeah, a man could learn a lot from a man behind the times

                       G             F                C
Yeah, man, I learned a lot from that man behind the times

C    F               
       Behind the times
