i remember a young johnny cash waiting in the wings
D G D A
cuz he’d hand me his cigarette when he’d go out to sing

G A D G
and the good old marshall tucker band back in ’83
G A
was a special night , they asked me come on out and play can’t you see
D G D
darlene was a teenage girl when i first met her , wow
D G D A
jerry lee played rock ’n’ roll at my house and i’m proud

chorus :
D G
i’m from the old school but i made up my own rules
A D
but i learned a thing or two from some pretty good teachers
D G Em
my education has served me well , one look at me and you could tell my musics true
A D
the class reunion from the blues , i’m from the old school

* * * repeat chords * * *

well things were kinda rough at times , i had to find my way
not exactly an overnight sensation like some are today
hey i’’m a dinosaur , that’s for sure but here’s what i gotta say
to anyone who questions my credentials , hi , i’m hank

chorus 2 :
and i’m from the old school but i made up some new rules
and you might learn a thing or two if you hang around
i’ll teach you to write and play and sing ’em , take these guitars out and string
’em , it will make your music true
class reunion of the blues , i’m from the old school

and after all the songs i sing , let’s stop and have a drink from my old bar stool
hey everybody , here’s to the old school
