Play with a nice easy strum. C G F C Risin' time's at five, the red sun is still sleepin' F C G My pillow is my saddle, the stars are my ceilin' C G F C My whole body's achin', I got a young colt needin' breakin' F C F G C G But ya know I can't complain, thank God some things never change C G F C There's a storm somewhere that's brewin' as these old bones are creakin' F C F G The cows will soon be down and that old roof a leakin' C G F C Got a truck that needs some tendin' and some fences needin' mendin' F C F G C G And I know it must sound strange, but thank God some things never change CHORUS F C They fenced in all the free land and oil wells run the range F C Long gone are the cattle drives since they brought in the trains D F C But the mhard work and the friendships still remain F G C G Thank God some things never change. C G F C Out here where nature rules each day's a different battle F C G And it still takes a man workin' in the saddle C G F C No machine can break a bay or bring in a lonely stray F C F G C G So I guess I will remain, thank God some things never change. CHORUS F G Yeah it looks like this old cowboy will remain F G C Thank God some things never change.
