Chords with lyrics
Capo 3
D MajorD
They don't make them like they used to
G+G D MajorD
You always used to say
A augmentedA
That's why everything you've ever built
G+G D MajorD
Is still standing here today
D MajorD
That old Camaro in the carport
G+G D MajorD
The fence along the lane
A augmentedA
All the walls in this old house
G+G D MajorD
Right down to the family name
D MajorD
Mama said you always worried
G+G D MajorD
You wouldn't leave much behind
A augmentedA
You can't make a million bucks
G+G D MajorD
On some damned assembly line
D MajorD
But you threw every dime you could
G+G D MajorD
Into that Folger's coffee can
A augmentedA
After ten percent to Jesus
G+G D MajorD
Twenty-five to Uncle Sam
G+G B minorBm
Whoah-oh, story after story
D MajorD
Of all your faded glory
A augmentedA
Is all I ever hope to live up to
G+G B minorBm
Whoah-oh, know as I get older
D MajorD
I'm standing on your shoulders
A augmentedA
Trying to be just like you
D MajorD
But they don't make 'em like they used to
D MajorD - A augmentedA - G+G
D MajorD
Well you always used to warn me
G+G D MajorD
About this highway I was on
A augmentedA
Ain't no way to make a living
G+G D MajorD
Squeezing pennies out of songs
D MajorD
And I may never build a castle
G+G D MajorD
But the ends meet up somehow
A augmentedA
Throwing coins into a coffee can
G+G D MajorD
Oh if you could see me now
G+G B minorBm
Whoah-oh, story after story
D MajorD
Of all your faded glory
A augmentedA
Is all I ever hope to live up to
G+G B minorBm
Whoah-oh, know as I get older
D MajorD
I'm standing on your shoulders
A augmentedA
Trying to be just like you
D MajorD
But they don't make 'em like they used to
D MajorD - A augmentedA - G+G
B minorBm G+G
Leather skin, tough as nails
B minorBm
Promises that never failed
G+G
Solid as the gospel truth
B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
G+G B minorBm
Whoah-oh, know as I get older
D MajorD
I'm standing on your shoulders
A augmentedA
Trying to be just like you
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
But they don't make 'em like they used to?
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
