There is some arpeggiation during the intro, but I will leave that to you to figure out. {Intro} (same as verse) {Verse 1} I don't drink as much as I used to ) Lately, it just ain't my style And hard times don't last like they used to They pass quicker, like when I was a child. {Chorus} Somehow I've learned how to listen To a sound like the sun going down And the magic the morning is bringing home a song for a life I have found It keeps my feet on the ground {Solo}--Play verse again {second verse} The midsummer days sit so heavy but don't they blow like a breeze through your mind when nothing appears in a hurry to make up for someone's lost time {repeat chorus} (*A note on the chorus---the version by The Seldom Scene has a somewhat different last chorus. This may be the original words, and were changed for soon to be obvious reasons(Alison being a woman and all) It only affects the last two lines: A song for a girl I have found She keeps my feet on the ground Also, Alan Jackson uses friend instead of girl I believe, although I'm not sure if he says he or she on the next line. So use whichever version you like best, or best suits your gender*) Please email with any suggestions or comments. -- Bruce A.
