Play with a nice easy strum. C5 G5 F5 C5 Risin' time's at five, the red sun is still sleepin' F5 C5 G5 My pillow is my saddle, the stars are my ceilin' C5 G5 F5 C5 My whole body's achin', I got a young colt needin' breakin' F5 C5 F5 G5 C5 G5 But ya know I can't complain, thank God some things never change C5 G5 F5 C5 There's a storm somewhere that's brewin' as these old bones are creakin' F5 C5 F5 G5 The cows will soon be down and that old roof a leakin' C5 G5 F5 C5 Got a truck that needs some tendin' and some fences needin' mendin' F5 C5 F5 G5 C5 G5 And I know it must sound strange, but thank God some things never change CHORUS F5 C5 They fenced in all the free land and oil wells run the range F5 C5 Long gone are the cattle drives since they brought in the trains D5 F5 C5 But the mhard work and the friendships still remain F5 G5 C5 G5 Thank God some things never change. C5 G5 F5 C5 Out here where nature rules each day's a different battle F5 C5 G5 And it still takes a man workin' in the saddle C5 G5 F5 C5 No machine can break a bay or bring in a lonely stray F5 C5 F5 G5 C5 G5 So I guess I will remain, thank God some things never change. CHORUS F5 G5 Yeah it looks like this old cowboy will remain F5 G5 C5 Thank God some things never change.
