Willie Nelson: I Just Drove By Chords

[G] I always [C] go the other way
[F#] But [F] _ my car drove me down today
To [C] a little house _ _ on the [G] older side of town
Back _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _
when things were never hard
[F] I used to play there in that yard
And [C] I just drove by [G] to see if things [C] had changed
_ [Fm] _
[C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ Well, cokes were just a nickel then
And [F] across the street at five and ten
_ [C] A lot of things were cheap, square [Em] [G] and straight _ _
_ _ _ [C] And the life that we had might have been
But it was [F] one we loved, believing [C] in
And I just drove by [G] to see if [C] things had _ [F] _ _ [C] changed
[Em] _ [Dm] _ [G] I wonder now if love is still [C] the way [F] it was [C] back then
[G] _ _ [D] I need to know that life is still [G] a place worth living at _
[B] _ [C] _ There is just like it was [F] a house where there [Dm] was always [F] love
[C] And I just drove by [G] to see if [C] things had changed
[F] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ [F] _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
In a world that's seen its better days
_ [F] It's good to know _ some things remain [C] the same
Though standing still is not [G] time's way
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[G] _ [C] Take to heart while in its [Gm] spring
[F] That love is just a fragile thing
Oh, [C] I just drove by [G] to see if [C] things had _ [F] changed
[C] _ _ [Em] _
[Dm] [G] I wonder now _ if love is still [C] the way [F] it [C] was back then
I [D] _ need to know that life is still [G] a place worth living at
[C] _
[G] _ [C] _ There is [Gm] just like it was [F] _ a house where there was always [C] love
And I just drove by to [G] see if things [C] had changed
_ _ [F] _ _
[C] And I just [Em] drove by [G] to see if things [C] had [F] changed
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
