Nothing Like They Used To Be chords by Vince Gill

Key: A

Intro:

D    E    A    D


Chorus:
D                                        E
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
    A                          D
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
D
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
           E
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
          A                                   D
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be

Verse 1:
      G                   A
These days what they call dancing
           G                A
Ain't even close to old two stepping
    G                                 A
You used to hold your partner till closing time
       G                 A
Man, I miss the smell of smoking
        G                   A
And the sound of long necks opening
    G                                A
The taste of getting stoned on cheap red wine


Chorus:
D                                        E
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
    A                          D
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
D
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
           E
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
          A                                   D
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be


[Instrumental Break]
D    E    A    D
E    A    D


Verse 2:
         G                   A
We drink beer and shoot some pool
         G               A
Get half-drunk and act a fool
     G                             A
Some guy would say the wrong thing to me
     G              A
We'd wind up in the parking lot
         G        A
Fighting over the girl you brought
        G                        A
Hell, I lost a few but not the memories


[Out-Chorus]
D                                        E
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
    A                          D
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
D
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
           E
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
          A                                   D
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
          A                                   D           A D
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
