[A]
[Em] [G] [A] [D]
This old guitar, I'm holding for her, [G] though she sometimes out of [E] tune.
[Em] [A] She earns her keep each time she speaks [G] in the dance [A] hall and [D] bar room.
In the rain and hour, that old wildwood flower [G] don't procure [D]
a [Em] little smile.
[A] I guess that's how it's always been, [G] for at least [A] a very [D] long while.
It never fails, and the world ails [G] you, [D] throws you [Em] to the ground.
[A] Some old song, forgotten long [G] ago, [A] comes back [D] around, picks you [E] up, [D] dusts you off [G] in an
[D] old analog [Em] style.

[D]
head on feather [G] beds and a pallet [D] [Em] on the floor,
[A] that I'd contest my best night's
rest, [G] all those work [A] days [D] full of chores.
For any man that works his [G] hands knows true [D] reward [Em] and triumph.
I [A] guess that's how it's always been, [G] for at [A] least a very [D] long while.
Restlessness and breathlessness, [G] and creeping over [E] time.
[Em] [A] When things get slow, you got to go [G] clear [A] that highway [D] blind.
The more you roam, you'll long for [G] home with every [Em] passing mile.
I [A] guess that's how it's always been, [G] for at least a [A] very [D] long while.
