πΈ Verse 1:
D D/F# G A
Sittin' here thinkin' bout me and Big Ricky smokin' cigarettes down on the levy,
D D/F# G A
Talkin' bout who's hot, who's not, big blocks, Pontiacs, Fords and Chevys,
D D/F# G A
I remember him packin' that van for Atlanta, his Daddy found a better wage,
G D/F# Em A
Ain't seen him in forever, here's to forever cause nothin' gets better with age,
πΈ Chorus:
D D/F# G
Like old friends, old whiskey and old songs,
A D D/F# G
Nothin' gets me like they get me, when they hit me, I'm gone
D/F# Em D/F#
With a smile on back to an old page, from the old days
G D/F# Em
If you're with me, get your glass raised and sing along,
G A D
To old friends, old whiskey, and old songs,
πΈ Verse 2:
D D/F# G A
I can still see my baby's blue eyes shine, singin' "Brown Eyed Girl" off key,
D D/F# G A
Hangin' with the gang after that big game with my jersey number on her cheek,
D D/F# G A
Passin' around a bottle that we found at the bottom of a chest from my buddy's barn,
G D/F# Em A
Back when life was nothin', but buzzin' and lovin' and bangin' on cheap guitars,
πΈ Chorus:
D D/F# G
With old friends, old whiskey and old songs,
A D D/F# G
Nothin' gets me like they get me, when they hit me, I'm gone,
D/F# Em D/F#
With a smile on back to an old page, from the old days,
G D/F# Em
If you're with me, get your glass raised and sing along,
G A D
to old friends, old whiskey, and old songs,
πΈ Bridge:
Bm A G
Most of my rowdy friends ain't rowdied on down just yet,
D/F# A D
They still like to rock 'n roll all night,
Bm A G
Probably never lose our way to Margaritaville,
D/F# Em A
Yeah we're forever gonna get high, singin' bye bye miss American pie,
πΈ Chorus:
D D/F# G
Like old friends, old whiskey and old songs,
A D D/F# G
Nothin' gets me like they get me, when they hit me, I'm gone,
D/F# Em D/F#
With a smile on back to an old page, from the old days,
G D/F# Em
If you're with me, get your glass raised and sing along,
G A D
to old friends, old whiskey, and old songs
