Some People Change

D    G    D    G

[Verse 1]
D
  His old man was a rebel yeller,
G
  Bad boy to the bone, he'd say,
D
  Can't trust a color'd feller
G                                    D     G
  He'd judge em by the tone of their skin,

[Verse 2]
D
  He was raised to think like his dad,
G
  Narrow mind and full of hate,
D
  On the road to nowhere fast,
G                                  A
  Till the grace of God got in the way,

Then he saw the light,
    G                 D
and hit his knees and cried and said a prayer,
A                         G
  Rose up a brand new man,  left the old one right there,

[Chorus]
D               A                    G
  Here's to the strong thanks to the brave,
              Bm         G      D
don't give up hope, some people change,
            A                 G
Against all odds, against the grain,
             Bm        G      D       G
Love finds a way, some people change,

[Verse 3]
D
  She was born with her mothers habit,
G
  guess you could say it's in her blood,
D
  She hates that she's gotta have it,
G
  She feels her glass up,
D
  She'd love to kill that bottle,
G
  But All she could think about is a,
D
  Better life a second chance,
G
  And everyone she's lettin down, She throws that bottle down,

[Chorus]
D               A                    G
  Here's to the strong thanks to the brave,
              Bm         G      D
don't give up hope, some people change,
            A                 G
Against all odds, against the grain,
             Bm        G      D      G
Love finds a way, some people change,

[Bridge]
G
  Thank God for those who make it,
D G                 A
    Let them be the light,

[Solo]

[Chorus]
G Bm   G      D
  Some people change,
              A                    G
Here's to the strong thanks to the brave,
              Bm         G      D
don't give up hope, some people change,
            A                 G
Against all odds, against the grain,
             Bm        G      D     A    G
Love finds a way, some people cha---nge, yea
