Verse:
                           A
I've been through all them changes
                    A
A lot of stuff came down
                        A
I've dealt with all the issues
                          A
You might say I've been around
                    D
But back when I got started
                      A
There was a righteous sound
                            E            D E
It doesn't matter what I've been through
N.C.                           A G E D E7#9
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown

Chorus:
                         A
You know the more things change
                       A
The more they stay the same
                      D
It may be a different age
                    A
But I'm on the same page
                          E      D D# E
Cause one thing that I've found
N.C.                           A G E D E7#9
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown


Verse:
N.C.                A
I had an attitude adjustment
                        A
I did some psycho therapy
                        A
I helped myself to some self-help
                    A
I dabbled in some ESP
                        D
Though my world is ever-changing
                        A
And I move from town to town
                             E      D  E
It doesn't matter where I've been to
N.C.                           A G E D E7#9
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown


Chorus:
                          A
You know the more things change
                       A
The more they stay the same
                      D
It may be a different age
                    A
But I'm on the same page
                          E      D D# E
Cause one thing that I've found
N.C.                           A G E D E7#9
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown


Verse:
N.C.                      A
You got your rap and your disco
                      A
You got your drum machines
                     A
You got your R-rated gangster
                    A
You got your grungy scenes
                          D
You got your state of the art
                     A
You got your digital sound
                             E       D  E
It doesn't matter where it's going to

When there's water all around
                        E

N.C.                          A G E D  E7#9
