"They Don't Make E minorEm Like They Used To"
Aaron Watson
Capo 2


Intro:
G+G  B minorBm  E minorEm  C majorC


Verse:
  G+G               B minorBm
Bluebonnets down a long stretch of hill country highway
E minorEm              C majorC
Windows down, radio up, ride shotgun next to you
     G+G                B minorBm
You were smoking Camel Lights behind the wheel I can still hear you say
   E minorEm                      C majorC (x2)
Three hundred thousand miles you can't beat an ol' beat up Chevrolet (No Sir)

Instrumental:
G+G  B minorBm  E minorEm  C majorC


Verse:
   G+G                B minorBm
Well Granny's in the kitchen, smell of fried chicken frying
   E minorEm              C majorC
She's cooking in her apron singing along with Patsy Cline
    G+G               B minorBm
Playin' ball in the front yard, little sister runs in crying
  E minorEm                C majorC (x2)
She climbs up in her arms, I hear her laughing through the old screen door


Chorus:
      G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
      B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
      E minorEm      C majorC
They don't make 'em like you anymore

      G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
      B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
      E minorEm      C majorC
They don't make 'em like you anymore

{Verse}
     G+G                     B minorBm
Well the days have changed since the golden days in some ways we've come so far
   E minorEm                  C majorC
But I never dreamed we'd trade the American Dream for a fancy foreign car
    G+G               B minorBm
Have we sold our souls to save a buck, traded hard work for dumb luck
     E minorEm               C majorC
And those old country songs are sounding better than ever before


{Chorus}
      G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
      B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
      E minorEm           C majorC
They don't make 'em like you anymore

      G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
      B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
      E minorEm           C majorC
They don't make 'em like you anymore


{Verse}
    G+G               B minorBm
So you live the kind of life so long after you're long gone
       E minorEm                C majorC
You'll always be there in their hearts and your love light will shine on
    G+G               B minorBm
And someday they'll sit around down at John T's Country Store
      E minorEm                C majorC
They'll be laughing over stories you told a thousand times before, saying
C majorC                G+G B minorBm C majorC
They don't make em like you anymore
D MajorD                G+G B minorBm E minorEm C majorC
They don't make em like you anymore


{Chorus}
      G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
      B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
      E minorEm      C majorC
They don't make 'em like you anymore

      G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
      B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
      E minorEm      C majorC
They don't make 'em like you anymore


{Verse}
   G+G               B minorBm
Well no news is good news, tell me whose news really tells the truth
E minorEm                C majorC
The death toll rises high as gas prices shoot straight through the roof
  G+G                  B minorBm
Meanwhile politicians preach, while some preachers politic
    E minorEm                 C majorC
Well we need is lots of love, yeah lots of love might do the trick


Verse:
      G+G               B minorBm
Instead we criticize, we glamorize who's right or wrong, who's left or right
    E minorEm                    C majorC
Missing out on so many beautiful colors fighting over what's black and white
   G+G                  B minorBm
We've gotta forgive, gotta learn to live together, make the world a better place
     E minorEm                  C majorC
And just maybe someday somebody somewhere will look back on today
C majorC
Look back on us and say


{Outro}
      G+G
They don't make 'em like they used to
      B minorBm
They don't make 'em like they used to
      E minorEm          C majorC
They don't make 'em like you anymore
