Key E capo 2

[Intro]
D

[Verse]
D
I remember momma almost leaving daddy
G D
That was the year the crops all failed
D
She got down in her back they got back together
A D
The good Lord put the wind back in their sails

[Verse]
D
I can almost see the saw mill where my brother almost got killed
G D
He worked like hell for fifty cents a day
D
We all went to church on Sunday
D
We were proud of being country
A D
And always spoke well of the USA

[Chorus]
Am7 D G
Things are not the same in modern times
Em C G
The way this world is changing is such a crime
G D G
I'd give all I own for the family and a home
D G A D
The way I knew it back before these modern times

[Verse]
D
I just can't keep from wishing I was on a creek bank fishing
G D
And huntin' squirrels down in the bottom land

Or sittin' in the porch swing hearing mom and dad sing
A D
Oh, God's Unchanging Hands

[Verse]
D
I'm so tired of city living traffic and tall buildings
G D
I long to go back to the good ol' days
D
I spend my last quarter for a drink of cold well water
A D
Out back of that old shack where I was raised

[Chorus]
Am7 D G
Things are not the same in modern times
Em C G
The way this world is changing is such a crime
