Same Ol Story Tab

by Flatfoot 56


This is Flatfoot 56's song from Jungle of the Midwest Sea.
A great song and super easy to play.
Some good lyrics if you like gospel.
Enjoy, should be close to perfect; even added the mandolin part for an interlude.
Chords are basic G, Cadd9, and Dsus4 which can be played as regular D.

Introduction (Played quietly on the track)
                                  
Now it's the same old story, I was young,
                       
I was naive, and I was dumb. 
                              
My pops said stand, But then I ran
                          
Into the trap of, Satan's plan.

                             
And the dog that spread those lies
                     
And with those lies I ran.
                                
Just like the water reflects the face,
                         
So the heart reflects the man.

(Full volume)
                            
I was a wreck, doped up and drugged.
                                 
Against my chains I, I would have tugged.
                                   
And then he saved me, called me his one.
                             
And to the father, I became a son.

                             
And the dog that spread those lies,
                     
And with those lies I ran.
                                
Just like the water reflects the face,
                         
So the heart reflects the man.

(Single strums)
                                                   
And On that hill upon a tree hung a man who, who died for me.
                                                          
And As he hung there about to die, I saw the water pour from his side.

(Regular)
                              
He said "My son, your sins are vast,
                                    
But they are gone now, thrown to the past.
                                       
Walk with me now boy, through fields of green,
                                    
In this pool of water your face I've seen."

(Faintly; Accapela part, with chords quietly in the back)

                                                           
Now it's the same great story I was young, I was naive, and I was dumb.
                                   
But then He saved me, called me His one,
                            
And to the Father I became a son.
                             
And the dog that spread those lies,
                     
And with those lies I ran.
                                
Just like the water reflects the face,
                          
So the heart reflects the man.

So the heart reflects the man.
