       G
What a sad state of affairs I'm in
           Em7
'Cause I'm tryin' to compete where I just don't fit in
           Cadd9
'Cause the country if you'd call it that from off the row
      D
Ain't country, trust-me 'cause I'm oooold-enough to know that


Cadd9      G
That ain't country
Cadd9            G
That's a natural fact
             Cadd9                   G
It's full of tales of good times and happy endings
D
My life ain't like that
            Cadd9             G
So I'll keep listenin' to the old songs
        Cadd9            G
That my granddad used to play
        Cadd9                  G
Full of pain and heartache and desperation
        D
And the ones that got away
              Cadd9
The ones that speak to me
    D
The way I feel today


G Em7 Cadd9 D

            G
So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs
        Em7
Full of truth and consequences or the things gone wrong?
        Cadd9
Someone came and changed it up, and made it all a lie
          D
I'd like to spit a little beechnut right in that dude's eye, cause


Cadd9      G
That ain't country
Cadd9            G
That's a natural fact
             Cadd9                   G
It's full of tales of good times and happy endings
D
My life ain't like that
            Cadd9             G
So I'll keep listenin' to the old songs
        Cadd9            G
That my granddad used to play
        Cadd9                  G
Full of pain and heartache and desperation
        D
And the ones that got away
              Cadd9
The ones that speak to me
    D
The way I feel today

Now Listen here...

       G (Strum once, let ring)
We got Waylon singin' songs 'bout a ramblin' man
    Em7 (Strum once, let ring)
And Junior's got a cold one in his hand
        Cadd9 (Strum once, let ring)
And the Possum's gettin' drunk again, imagine that
            D
And Charlie Daniels playin' fiddle underneath that hat
    G
And John and June are goin' back and forth again
    Em7
And David Allen Coe is singin' 'bout his kin
    Cadd9
And Haggard sings the songs that'll save your soul
    D
And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he's stole, 'cause


Cadd9       G
That shit's country
Cadd9            G
That's a natural fact
             Cadd9                   G
It's full of tales of hard times and complications
D
Ain't life like that?
          Cadd9             G
So I'll be listenin' to the old songs
        Cadd9            G
That my granddad used to play
        Cadd9                  G
Full of pain and heartache and desperation
        D
And the ones that got away
              Cadd9
The ones that speak to me
    D          Em7
The way I feel today
              Cadd9
The ones that speak to me
    D
The way I feel today
