Wishing All These Old Things Were New by Merle Haggard




   Wishing All These Old Things Were New 





C                   G
Watching while some old friends do a line,
                               G            C
Holding back the want to in my own addicted mind.
               C7            F            C  C/B  Am  G  F
Wishing it was still a thing even I could do,
C                 G               C
Wishing all these old things were new.
 
                    G               C
Watching while some young men go to jail,
                                   G            C
And they show it all on TV just to see somebody fail.
                          C7
And I guess there's not a single thing 
  G               C  C/B  Am  G  F
A man like me can do,
C                 G               C
Wishing all these old things were new.
 
G                                 C
Wishing all these old things were new,
     F                       C           Am           D    G
Good times like the roaring '20s and the roaring '80s too.
F                                   C       C/B Am   G   F
Thinking about the good old days, before it all fell through,
C                 G               C
Wishing all these old things were new.
 
[Instrumental]
C   G   C   G   C  C7  F  C  C/B  Am  G  F  C  G  C
 
                       G           C
The kids don't want my cigarettes around,
                                  G           C
They say its time that dad should lay tobacco down.
                         C7
But if I could start all over, 
          F               C  C/B  Am  G  F
Guess I'd still do what I do,
C                 G               C
Wishing all these old things were new.
 
G                                 C
Wishing all these old things were new,
     F                       C           Am           D    G
Good times like the roaring '20s and the roaring '80s too.
F                                   C       C/B Am   G   F
Thinking about the good old days, before it all fell through,
C                 G               C
Wishing all these old things were new.
                  G               C
Wishing all these old things were new.
