Times Like These  Kid Rock

TUNING: HALF STEP DOWN
It was most recently performed on the 2010 American Music Awards, and in my humble
opinion was the highlight of the show. The performance can be found in video
(again) all over the internet.
As we all know, live performances have tons of improv and variation. The following
tab can be used as a foundation and is open for interpretation. Never the less,
it will get you where you need to be if you want to play it live (or just by
yourself). I hope this helps! Jeff

Am D G (Intro)
It makes us who we are, in times like these
LYRICS:
The lakes and pines they bleed of beauty and grace
And the rivers they run wild like an endless race
The forests soar so high then fall to the sea
As church bells ring and sing in harmony
I heard them say they're shuttin' Detroit down
But I won't leave cuz' this is my hometown
And it's times like these we can't replace
It's times like these we must embrace
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees
It makes us who we are, in times like these
The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind
With the memories of what was and what has been
The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues
There were 17 colors for a Chevy all red white and blue
I heard them say that you can't save that town
But I won't leave, I will stand my ground
And it's times like these we can't replace
It's times like these we must embrace
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees
It makes us who we are, in times like these
(Solo)
The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom
In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon
A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above
Cuz in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love
And I was here watchin' it all go down
And I'll still be, when it comes back around
And it's times like these we can't replace
It's times like these we must embrace
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees
It makes us who we are, in times like these
It makes us who we are in times like these
YUP!
