[Intro] D D7 G D/F# Em A G A D [Verse] D This old guitar, D7 I've toted far G D/F# Em And though she's sometimes outta tune A She earns her keep each time she speaks G A D In the dance halls and barrooms D There ain't an hour that D7 old wildwood flower G D/F# Em Don't procure a little smile A I guess that's how it's always been G A D Or at least for a long while [Verse] D It never fails when the world ails you G D/F# Em And throws you to the ground A Some old song forgotten long ago G A D Comes back around D D7 Picks you up and dusts you off G D/F# Em In an old analog style A I guess that's how it's always been G A D Or at least for a long while [Instrumental] D G D/F# Em A G A D [Verse] D Laid my head on feather beds G D/F# Em And a pallet on the floor A But I'd contest my best night's rest G A D Followed work days full of chores D D7 Any man that works his hands G D/F# Em Knows true reward and trial A I guess that's how it's always been G A D Or at least for a long while [Verse] D D7 Restlessness and breathlessness G D/F# Em Can creep in over time A When things get slow you got to go G A D Hear that highway whine D The more you roam, D7 you'll long for home G D/F# Em With every passing mile A I guess that's how it's always been G A D Or at least for a long while [Outro] A I guess that's how it's always been G A D Or at least for a long while
