Chords for John Conlee - Old School (Live at Farm Aid 1994)

Well, you know, there's a lot of talk in the nation now about family values.
One of the _ best places to learn family values is on a family farm.
I know because I was raised on one, and I still operate one in Kentucky and Tennessee.
And this next song we're going to do sort of underlines that whole theme of family values,
and it's where our family farmers are from.
Like many of you, they're from the old school.

_ I can remember us cruising [Eb] through town
In your daddy's car with the top pulled down, looking [Ab] so cool _ _ _
_ We [Eb] came from different sides of the track
_ But we still held hands out [Ab] back of the old school _ _ _
[Bb] We spent all our time [Cm] together _ _ _
[Bb] Laughing and having fun
[Cm] We _ _
[Bb] swore that we'd love [Cm] forever _ _
[Ab] Because that was the way things [Bb] were done _
[Eb] At the old school
[Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ _

[Bb] You made such a lovely bride

Down by [Ab] the old [Eb] school
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _

[G] I got married to [Ab] a sweet young girl
[Gm] And kept driving for the [Ab] line _ _ _
