A    D
Old ways
  G               D
sure is hard to change 'em
 A         D
come what may
      G                          D
it's hard to teach a dinosaur a new trick
  G               A
lately I've been findin' out
 D             G	   
I'm set in my ways
     D   A                   D
Old ways can be a ball and chain

(same chords for all the verses, it seems)

Well I'm gonna stop that grass

and give up all this drinkin'

really gonna make my life last

clean up my whole way of livin'

up until the party last night

I was a different man

But old ways got the way againEconomy was gettin' so bad

I had to lay myself off

but workin' was a habit I had

so I kept showin' up anyway

Then one day things turned around

I got my back pay

Old ways coming through againI got old ways

I got old ways

Old ways

I got old ways
