Well I don't drink as much as I used to, lately it just ain't my style,

 Em                         Am-C7
F                G7
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to, they pass quickly like
when I was a

  C-G7
child,


F                         G                    C-C7        F
G   Am-C7
And some how I've learned how to listen,  for a sound like the sun goin
down,

F                G7           C-F           C
Em            Am-C7
In the magic the mornin is bringin,  there's a song for the life I have
found,


F             G7        C - G7
It keeps my feet on the ground,


C              Em             Am-C7    F
G7            C- And a mid-summer days sits so heavy, but don't they
flow like the breeze through your

 G7
mind,

C               Em            Am-C7          F                 G7
C-G7
When nothin appears in a hurry,  to make up for someone's lost time,


        F                         G           C-C7          F
G    Am-C7
And some how I've learned how to listen,  for a sound like the sun goin
down,

     F                 G7          C-F                  C
Em    Am-C7
In the magic the mornin is bringin, there's a song for the life I have
found,

F            G7               C
It keeps my feet on the ground,

(add-lib Lead)

       F                            G          C-C7
F          G  Am-C7
And some how I've learned how to listen, for a sound like the breeze
dyin down,

    F                G7           C-F
C                Em  Am-C7
In the magic the mornin is bringin, there's a song for the friend I have
found,

F                    G7             C-C7          F          G7    C
She keeps my feet on the ground,   she keeps my feet on the ground.
