[Chorus]
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
It's been that way since the git go
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
Lord it's always been that way
[Verse 1]
Em B7 Em
Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite
Em B7
Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right
Em
Well they woke up naked with a big headache
Am
He been done in by a slippery snake
Em B7 Em
a man and a woman get to live a while and then they die
[Chorus]
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
It's been that way since the git go
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
Lord it's always been that way
[Verse 2]
Em B7 Em
Politicians make promises that they can't keep
Em B7
They keep printin' money ‘till they get in way too deep
Em
It's the same old lesson, they never learn,
Am
They're too busy workin' on their next term
Em B7 Em
Politicians keep makin' fools out of you and me
[Chorus]
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
It's been that way since the git go
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
Lord it's always been that way
[Verse 3]
Em B7 Em
Money breeds war, as long as there's a man alive
Em B7
Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight
Em
High-rollers crap out ev'ry time,
Am
roll a soldier's bones like loaded dice
Em B7 Em
War is the beast that makes ev'ry mother cry
[Chorus]
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
It's been that way since the git go
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
Lord it's always been that way
[Verse 4]
Em B7 Em
He told the truth, and they hung him up to die
Em B7
The son of God who created you and I
Em
He said it in the Good Book and letters in red
Am
But we keep on forgettin' ev'ry thing He said
Em B7 Em
Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I
[Chorus]
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
It's been that way since the git go
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
Lord it's always been that way
[Chorus]
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
It's been that way since the git go
Em Am
It's been that way since the git go
B7 Em
Lord it's always been that way
