Hey everybody, welcome to Kate Covers [Bm] Kate, where I play you a song that I've written and another artist has recorded.
[A] Today's song is You Can't Make Old [Bm] Friends, which was recorded by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
I wrote the song [B] with a dear friend of mine named Don Schlitz.
I like to call Don my [C] Yoda.
He has written some of country [E] music's most amazing songs.
Is that my dog trying to get [Em] in?
Yeah, that's my dog.
[Eb] So anyways, Don has [Abm] written some of the most amazing songs in country music [Bm] like The Gambler, Wouldn't You Say Nothing at All,
[Eb] and he kind of took me under his wing when [Bb] I moved to town and taught me a ton [N] about songwriting.
And the story of this song goes that he was actually being inducted [Bm] into Songwriter Hall of Fame
and Kenny Rogers approached him with this title, [G]
You Can't Make Old Friends, and asked Don if he would write it.
And so I think the next [B] week Don and I were scheduled to write and he asked me if I wanted to try and write the title with him.
[Dm] And so, you know, we did our best and wrote [A] this little song and sent it [Bm] to Kenny and then he ended [G] up recording it with Dolly Parton, which was [D] so cool.
And then it was [G] nominated for a Grammy, which was even cooler.
And so here [D] is You Can't Make Old Friends.

How will I [A] see you when you're [Bm] gone?
[G]
Cause it [A] won't sound the [D] same.
