Ain't The Same

Bb  F  C
           F
He saw the lightening flash across
The bright blue sky
        Am
Saw the rain creep across the road
        Gm
Well he stopped and said that's
The Devil beating his wife
          C
Some old tale the old folks told
       F
It's a five mile walk between here and a town
     Am
On a road lined with sugarcane
Gm
They won't notice if it goes anywhere
     C
Here lately it's like they've
Forgotten his name
Dm      Am               C
He just can't forget the way
         Bb                F
That the days seem so much brighter
        Dm                             Am
And the breeze could blow the troubles away
Bb                    F             C
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
         Bb                  F
This old place seems so much bigger
       Dm                      Am
Now he sees it all a different way
Bb              F                        C
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
          F
He's been back from overseas about thirty days
   Am
He returns standin' proud and true
         Gm
Yeah the new's worn off of his welcome home
        C
Like the heat burnin' off the dew
F
Empty bottles that mean the bills ain't gettin' paid
     Am
Same holes knocked in the walls
     Gm
Mama don't fight back like in her younger days
      C
Going over the edge well it's a hell of a fall
Dm     Am             C
Can he just go back a page?
         Bb                F
That the days seem so much brighter
        Dm                             Am
And the breeze could blow the troubles away
Bb                    F             C
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
         Bb                  F
This old place seems so much bigger
       Dm                      Am
Now he sees it all a different way
Bb              F                        C
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same

F
He don't know what he's headed for
        Am
But the buses run right on time
Gm
Anywhere's better than stayin' here
         C
With the ghosts runnin' through his mind
Dm               Am
Things that he's seen and done
Dm                  Am
Are so much for any mother's son
Dm                     Am
To live down or try to run away from
C
Can he run?
         Bb                F
That the days seem so much brighter
        Dm                             Am
And the breeze could blow the troubles away
Bb                    F             C
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
         Bb                  F
This old place seems so much bigger
       Dm                      Am
Now he sees it all a different way
Bb              F                        C
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
