[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ [Am] _ [Eb] _ [Gm] _
[F] Saturday night in a one [Bb]-horse town, [F] _
watching the cars cruising up [Bb] and down, [C] and it's the
same old thing, [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb]
the same old thing.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] Big farm boys in their [Bb] daddy's trucks, [F]
high heeled
girls with their hair [Bb] pinned up, [C] and it's the same old thing, [F] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] it's the same old thing.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C]
All wound up, [F] no place to [C] go, only one [F] movie and you've seen the show, [A] _
everyone you [Dm] see
is someone you know, [G] and it's more of the same old [Bb] thing.
[Am] _ [Eb] _ [Gm] _
[F] Foolhalled punks out of luck
[Bb] and money, [F]
out on the sidewalk, _ [Bb] pitching [C] pennies, it's the same old thing, [F] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] it's the same old
thing.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F]
A&W, _ [Bb] driving bikes, [F]
sit on a fender and howl [Bb] at the night, [C] and it's the same old
thing, [F] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] it's the same old thing.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
Conned some beers [F] from a working friend, _ [C]
you can get crazy
[F] and not get blamed.
_ [A]
Nothing gets [Dm] better, cause nothing is changed, [G] and it's more of the [C] same
old [Bb] thing.
[Am] _ [Gm] _
[F] Don't you remember your mama's [Bb] face, [F] when you came home bleeding all [Bb] over
the place, [C] and it's the same old thing, _ _ _ [Bb] it's the same old thing.
_ _ _ _ [F]
Thought you were bigger
than your [Bb] old [F] man, till he took off your head with the back [Bb] of his hand, [C] and it's the same
old thing, [F] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] it's the same old thing.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C]
You find some girl [F] who go all the way, [C] you tell her
you love her [F] and she says okay, [A]
next thing she wants to [Dm] get married and says, [G] guess what,
[Bb] it's the [E] same old [Am] thing.
[Gm] _ [F] _
_ _ Marlon Brando, [Bb] _ _ [F]
James Dean, _ _ [Bb] Elvis Presley, [C] _
every [F] girl's dream, _ [C] _ _ [Bb]
every
mother's nightmare.
_ _ _ _ [C]
Wouldn't you like to [F] be an overnight star, [C]
stick up a bank, [F] maybe steal a
car, [A] and keep on driving [Dm] till you're far away [G] from more of the same [Em] old [Bb] thing.
[Am] [Gm] But [F] it's Saturday
night in a one [Bb]-horse town, [F]
watching the cars cruising up [Bb] and [F] down, [C] and it's the same old thing,
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb]
same old thing.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F]
Big mom boys in the [Bb] daddy's trucks, _ [F]
high heeled girls with their hair [Bb] pinned up, [C] and
it's the same old thing, [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ same [Eb] old thing.
