🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD           D7D7
This old guitar, I've toted far
        G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
And though she's sometimes outta tune
A augmentedA
She earns her keep each time she speaks
G+G         A augmentedA   D MajorD
In the dance halls and barrooms
D MajorD               D7D7
There ain't an hour that old wildwood flower
    G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
Don't procure a little smile
A augmentedA
I guess that's how it's always been
    G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
Or at least for a long while

🎸 Verse 2:
D MajorD
It never fails when the world ails you
  G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
And throws you to the ground
A augmentedA
Some old song forgotten long ago
G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD
Comes back around
D MajorD         D7D7
Picks you up and dusts you off
   G+G    D/F#D/F# E minorEm
In an old analog style
A augmentedA
I guess that's how it's always been
    G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Or at least for a long while

🎸 Verse 3:
D MajorD
Laid my head on feather beds
   G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
And a pallet on the floor
A augmentedA
But I'd contest my best night's rest
     G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
Followed work days full of chores
D MajorD     D7D7
Any man that works his hands
   G+G   D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
Knows true reward and trial
A augmentedA
I guess that's how it's always been
   G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Or at least for a long while

🎸 Verse 4:
D MajorD          D7D7
Restlessness and breathlessness
   G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Can creep in over time
A augmentedA
When things get slow you got to go
G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD
Hear that highway whine
D MajorD          D7D7
The more you roam, you'll long for home
 G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
With every passing mile
A augmentedA
I guess that's how it's always been
  G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Or at least for a long while


🎸 Outro:
A augmentedA
I guess that's how it's always been
   G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Or at least for a long while
