HARDY - here lies country music: chords

      C                 G
Well here lies country music
 C               G
Had a damn good run
C                 G                      D
It took its last Nashville lap around a Ring
of Fire sun
      C                G
Jack Daniel's in the front row
       C                G
Right next to steel guitar
     C                  G                    D
The headline said, the cause of death was a lonely
broken heart

Chorus:
            C                  G
'Cause you can't cheat on the radio
        D                    Em
Or be proud of where you're from
  C                G                  D
Trucks ran out of red dirt roads and beer
quit getting you drunk
           C              G                  D
Yeah the thing about all good things is they all
    D#dim  Em
come to an end
    C                 G
So here lies country music
      D             G
Rest easy, my old friend

It had a couple close calls with names that
I won't mention
But it stayed strong with "Always On My Mind"
and "Family Tradition"
Helped people through some hard times,
more times than you can count
So you hate to see three chords and the
truth six feet in the ground

Chorus:
'Cause you can't cheat on the radio or
be proud of where you're from
Trucks ran out of red dirt roads and beer
quit getting you drunk
Yeah, the thing about all good things
is they all come to an end
So here lies country music, rest easy,
my old friend, oh

   C            G
I woke up in a cold sweat
        C             G
To my alarm clock radio
       C                    G               D
A new song came on about a honkytonk drunk heart
that just got broke
    C                    G
And I said, "thank you, Jesus"
       C                G
That dream was all made up
    C              G                       D
And I pray that I leave this world before country
music does

Chorus:
When you can't cheat on the radio or
be proud of where you're from
When trucks run out of red dirt roads
and beer quits getting you drunk
Yeah, I'll tell you some crazy words
I never wanna say again
Here lies country music, rest easy,
my old friend

Thank you, country music, amen
