Same Old Story chords by Stevie Wonder

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G
Born to open for

Mankind nature's door
          E7       Am
A life known by a few
                           F
And those who knew that shared
          Am     Am7
Their knowledge fewer cared
 F#7                    Bm7
About what plants could do
            Fmaj7       E7       D#
For most felt it was mad to conceive
Cm                    D7                        G
That plants thought, felt, and moved quite like we
      Fmaj7               E7        D#7   Cm
But with instruments Bose would devise
             D                     Em    B7
Would take Science itself by a surprise, so

Chorus:
Em            Bm7
On we go to where who knows
       C                      G        D    B
To a place where there's still non-believers
     Em                 Bm7
What will it take for heaven's sake
     C                              B7       E7
For those who find what's real too hard to believe in
      C               D      G       Dm
It's that same old story again


Verse 2:
  G
Born of slaves who died

Too soon to realize
              E          Am
The need his life would be
              F
Selflessy he gave
     Am         Am7
His wisdom to a way
       F#7                  Bm7
Where first no minds would see
       Fmaj7            E7       D#7     Cm
He said if farm land was to be rich
          D7                   G
We must plant crops to replenish it
     Fmaj7           E7         D#7      Cm7
But it took him persuasion and tests
       D                           Em    B
To convince them Carver's way was best, so


Chorus:
Em            Bm7
On we go to where who knows
       C                      G        D    B
To a place where there's still non-believers
     Em                 Bm7
What will it take for heaven's sake
     C                              B7       E7
For those who find what's real too hard to believe in
      C               D      G       Dm
It's that same old story again
