Verse 

        G    C           G 
I ain't rich and I ain't famous 
            C                    G               D 
But there's folks out there that come to see the band 
            G     C               G 
At times it seems Nashville won't claim us 
   C               D                         G 
So we just keep on trucking in a beat up van 

Em             C          G           D 
They call me a throw back another old hat act 

 
C                D            G                         C 
I guess I'm just old school I love making music you can dance to 
          G                     D 
I may not sound like the latest trend 
C               D          G                       C 
Never been on a TV show, I got some buddies out in radio 
             G                     D 
That spin my records every now and then 
C            D              C               D 
So call me a dreaming fool, but wouldn't it be so cool 
C          D 
If we made old school new again 

Instrumental: G  C  G  G 

Verse 
                  G       C          G 
I know times they change, so I ain't saying 
           C                       G               D 
We need to go back to nudie suits, rhinestones and fringe 
                G     C           G 
I just wanna be proud of what I'm playing 
    C             D             G 
And sing a little lefty now and then 

Em                  C        G                 D 
Just hope there's a juke box that still has an empty slot 
Em           C            D 
Lord knows I ought to fit in 

 
C                D            G                         C 
I guess I'm just old school I love making music you can dance to 
          G                     D 
I may not sound like the latest trend 
C               D          G                       C 
Never been on a TV show, I got some buddies out in radio 
             G                     D 
That spin my records every now and then 
C            D              C               D 
So call me a dreaming fool, but wouldn't it be so cool 
C          D                    G 
If we made old school new again 

C               D                  C              D 
I know a cowboy who lost a friend, we all wrote a song for him 
C           D 
And we made old school new again
