Swapping I don't cares

Red-haired chicks

Old dogs and new tricks 
 5   4  4  4    4    -2'
And habits we ain't kicked
4    5    4 4    4     5
We talked about God's grace 
 3  -4  -4   -3  3   -4

And I dropped by today, 
3   -4  -4   -3     3   -4
To just say thanks and pray, 
(I left a six-pack right there 
On his grave. And I said,) 
 4   4   4     5    5  -4    3
