Standard (EADGBE)

 (intro) and things like that at one point you just kinda compromise with that

Standing in line marking time, waiting for the welfare dime

 'Cause they can't find a job

The man in the silk suit hurries by

As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes just for fun he says, "Get a job"

(chorus)

 That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

But don't you believe them

(verse 2)

They say hey little boy you can't go where the others go

 'Cause you don't look like they do

Said hey old man how can you stand to think that way

Did you really think about it before you made the rules, he said, son

(chorus)

(piano solo)

(verse 3)

Well they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more

But it only goes so far

 because the law don't change another's mind

 When all it sees at the hiring time is the line on the color bar

(final chorus) Same chords

That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

Thats just the way it is, it is, it is, it is

(outro)

thats how it sounded for me if you have any corrections be free to tell :P
