Good Country Song

	  		 


Intro: 

A  E  D 


verse 1: 

A                        
Shotgun in my daddy's truck 
E 
Eight years old and acting tough 
   D 
He smiled at me and said, "You shift the gears" 
A 
He would search that "fm" dial 
    E 
And I would count down every mile 
        D 
Til the station out of Tulsa came in clear 
           F#m                  E 
It was old Thomas Conley on the radio 
   D                              B7 
It punched me in the gut, man, it rattled my soul 

                   A    E       D 
I'm talking bout a good country song 

Makes you smile, makes you hurt 

Leaves you hanging on every word 
  A    E       D 
A good country song 

Makes you love, makes you leave 

Raise some hell or hit your knees 
F#m        
All I know is I think of home 
     E 
Grab my guitar and strum along 
D                                 B7 
Kick on back and sip me something strong 
              D    E       A 
When I hear a good country song 



verse 2: 
      A 
While hip-hop, rap, and rock were cool 
      E 
I was in my basement getting schooled 
   D 
On George and Keith and Vernon Alabama 
A 
I was learning bout those neon lights 
E 
Wasted days and wasted nights 
    D 
And honky-tonks from Texas to Montana 
            F#m   
And when my fingers found the fret board 
  E           
I close my eyes and sing 
  D                              B7 
I swear that beat up guitar only played one thing 


                   A    E       D 
I'm talking bout a good country song 

Makes you smile, makes you hurt 

Leaves you hanging on every word 
  A    E       D 
A good country song 

Makes you love, makes you leave 

Raise some hell or hit your knees 
F#m        
All I know is I think of home 
     E 
Grab my guitar and strum along 
D                                 B7 
Kick on back and sip me something strong 
              D    E       A 
When I hear a good country song 


OUTRO: 

         F#m          
Yeah, it makes me think of days long gone 
E 
Miss my dad and call my mom 
A                                   B7 
Run, laugh, and pray, and drink til dawn 
              D    E 
When I hear a good country 
  D        E 
A good old country  
   D   E       A 
a good country song
