[Verse 1]
F G
Found a book of interest the other day
C G Am D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
Compositions for the young and old to sing
F G C G
Poems written many years ago
F G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
They told of family and hope and other things
F G
Put together in the old days
C G Am D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
When fifteen cents, it was a buck
F G C G
That's when five would get you ten
F G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
Before it took you eight just to get you one
F G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
Some people, they don't care when they're down on their luck

[Bridge 1]
C G F
Cheap thrills are awful hard to find these days
C G
No one is amused for free
Am G F C
Someone's pulling on your mama's apron strings
D G F A G
You'd better run and see who it is

[Verse 2]
F G
Playing cards with your neighbors on the back porch
C G Am D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
Singing with an old beat-up guitar
F G C G
Going to the local swimming hole
F G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
Until they closed it down, now there's nowhere to go

[Bridge 2]
C G F
Things used to be so simple, long time ago
C G
Now everything is so expensive and complicated
Am G F C D G F A G
I hear you need a license for just about anything at all

[Verse 3]
F G
Used to be that a handshake was a man's word
C G Am D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
Now we settle arguments in court
F G C G
No one trusts
F G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
anyone's intentions anymore
