They Dont Make Em Like They Used To

G   Bm   Em   C


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


[Instrumental]
G   Bm   Em   C


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


[Chorus]
           G
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Bm
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Em            C
They don't make 'em like you anymore

           G
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Bm
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Em            C
They don't make 'em like you anymore


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


{Chorus}
           G
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Bm
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Em                      C
They don't make 'em like you anymore

           G
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Bm
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Em                      C
They don't make 'em like you anymore


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


{Chorus}
           G
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Bm
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Em            C
They don't make 'em like you anymore

           G
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Bm
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Em            C
They don't make 'em like you anymore


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


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


{Outro}
           G
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Bm
They don't make 'em like they used 
to
           Em                   C
They don't make 'em like you anymore
