Kris Kristofferson - Same old song

^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

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

^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 any^Abody 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

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}
