Kid Rock - Times Like These

intro F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2

F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
the lakes and pines , they bleed of beauty and grace
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
and the rivers , they run wild like an endless race
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
the forrests soar so high then fall to the sea
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
as church bells ring and sing in harmony

G#m B F#
i heard them say they’re shutting detroit down
G#m B C#
but i won’t leave , cause this is my hometown .
B C# F#
and its times like these we can’t replace ,
B C# F#
it’s times like these we must embrace ,
B C# D#m C# B
and even though its bittersweet and brings us to our knees ,
G#m B F#
it makes us who we are , in times like these .

F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
the concrete and steel stand strong against the wind ,
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
with the memories of what was and what has been ,
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
the sounds of sweet soul music and blue collar blues ,
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
there was 17 colors for a chevy on a red , white , & blue ,
G#m B F#
i heard them say that you can’t save that town ,
G#m B C#
but i won’t leave , i will stand my ground .
B C# F#
and its times like these we can’t replace ,
B C# F#
it’s times like these we must embrace ,
B C# D#m C# B
and even though its bittersweet and brings us to our knees ,
G#m B F#
it makes us who we are , in times like these .

[ solo seems to be based in F# major penatonic scale ]
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
the ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
and the wake that hope and faith , they will be home soon ,
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
a new day dawns as the good lord shines from above ,
F# Bsus2 F# Bsus2
cause in the rubble in rust there remains a whole lot of love ,
G#m B F#
and i was here watching it all go down ,
G#m B C#
and i’ll still be when it comes back around .
B C# F#
and its times like these we can’t replace ,
B C# F#
it’s times like these we must embrace ,
B C# D#m C# B
and even though its bittersweet and brings us to our knees ,
G#m B F#
it makes us who we are , in times like these .
