They Dont Make Em Like They Used To Chords

(ver. 1)
Will Hoge
Capo 3

            D
They don't make them like they used to
     G              D
You always used to say
             A
That's why everything you've ever built 
          G              D
Is still standing here today
          D
That old Camaro in the carport
     G                D
The fence along the lane
          A    
All the walls in this old house
       G                  D
Right down to the family name

       D
Mama said you always worried
     G                     D
You wouldn't leave much behind
            A
You can't make a million bucks
        G               D
On some damned assembly line
          D
But you threw every dime you could
           G              D
Into that Folger's coffee can
        A
After ten percent to Jesus 
        G            D
Twenty-five to Uncle Sam


      G                   Bm
Whoah-oh, story after story
                     D
Of all your faded glory
               A
Is all I ever hope to live up to
      G                    Bm
Whoah-oh, know as I get older
                          D
I'm standing on your shoulders
                       A
Trying to be just like you
                                       D
But they don't make 'em like they used to

D - A - G

         D
Well you always used to warn me
           G             D
About this highway I was on
          A
Ain't no way to make a living
          G                 D
Squeezing pennies out of songs
          D
And I may never build a castle
        G                  D
But the ends meet up somehow
           A    
Throwing coins into a coffee can
      G                 D
Oh if you could see me now

      G                   Bm
Whoah-oh, story after story
                     D
Of all your faded glory
                A
Is all I ever hope to live up to
      G                    Bm
Whoah-oh, know as I get older
                            D
I'm standing on your shoulders
                       A
Trying to be just like you
                                       D
But they don't make 'em like they used to

D - A - G

Bm                         G
Leather skin, tough as nails
                         Bm
Promises that never failed
                        G
Solid as the gospel truth
                                 Bm
They don't make 'em like they used to


      G                    Bm
Whoah-oh, know as I get older
                            D
I'm standing on your shoulders
                        A
Trying to be just like you
                                       D     A G
But they don't make 'em like they used to?
                                   D     A G
They don't make 'em like they used to  
(repeat until song fades out)
