Dave Gunning - They Don't Do That No More
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C Am G
C
They walked everywhere they went
G Am
And sailed on the wind
F C G
It wasn't even that long ago
Am F
Some still remember when
C
You could drink the rivers
G Am G
And eat from every shore
F
Oh, the tides come and go
G C
They don't do that no more
There were dance halls all around
G Am
There was one on Green Hill
F C G
With the good old boys and folks from town
Am F
And all the women dressed to kill
C
Many met their sweethearts
G Am G
Wrote letters back and forth
F
Now that's all been changed
G C
They don't do that no more
CHORUS:
F G
They don't do that no more
C F
They don't do that no more
Am G C
They don't write letters back and forth
G C
They don't do that no more
Every family had a garden
G Am F
Somewhere in the yard
C
Comforting to know
G Am
You'd always eat when times got hard
F C G
And homemade bread was common
Am G
So was being poor
F
Now there's credit cards and big-box stores
G C
They don't do that no more
CHORUS:
F G
They don't do that no more
C F
They don't do that no more
Am G C
We spend more than we can afford
G Am
They don't do that no more
INSTRUMENTAL: Am C G F G F C D7 F G A

They used to camp there with their kids
A Bm A
And play in the water
G D
The landing had a fishing fleet
A Bm A
She was good as any other
G D
They'd swim out to Pine Island
A Bm A
Boil fresh dug clams on shore
G
Then the big wheel started going
A D
They don't do that no more
CHORUS:
G A
They don't do that no more
D G
They don't do that no more
Bm A D
There's poison on the harbour floor
A D
They don't do that no more
G A
They don't do that no more
D G D
They don't do that no more
