 Title: What this country needs

 ---(capo 2nd fret)--- 
 

 (verse 1)
 E                               
 If I was a running this country,
       A                   E    
 I'd start it over from scratch,
 E                                   
 Keep what's good pile up what's bad,
      B                        
 And then I'd strike the match,
      E                        
 Yeah we go back to the basics,
     A                     
 Of how things ought to be,
        E                          
 Yeah there'd be a line of changes,
    B                 E  
 If it was left up to me,
 
 (chorus)
 E                             
 Cause what this country needs,
        A                 E    
 Is a little more steel guitar,
  E                                          
 And put a little fiddle right in the middle,
          F#             B   
 Straight out of a Texas bar,
           E                              
 And give us a song we can all sing along,
                    A    
 From sea to shining sea,
 Yeah be proud of it and always love it,
          B                 E   
 That's what this country needs,
 
 (verse 2)
 E                                   
 Now if you want to hear about living
        A               E  
 Just twist that radio dial
      E                              B             
 You come to a singer singing what life's all about
 E                                       
 But you can't deny that people still cry
        A                               
 They laugh and they smile and they hurt
 E                             
 That's my humble opinion y'all
          B                      E  
 you can take it for what it's worth
 
 
 (chorus)
 E                             
 Cause what this country needs,
        A                 E    
 Is a little more steel guitar,
  E                                          
 And put a little fiddle right in the middle,
          F#             B   
 Straight out of a Texas bar,
           E                              
 And give us a song we can all sing along,
                    A    
 From sea to shining sea,
 Yeah be proud of it and always love it,
          B                 E   
 That's what this country needs,
 
 (bridge)
        A                              
 Yeah turn it on up and let it ring out
    E                       
 Across the land of the free
       F#                                         
 They ought to build a statue to Hank Williams Sr,
       B                         
 And watch it change the scenery,
 
 
 (chorus)
 E                             
 Cause what this country needs,
        A                 E   
 Is a little more steel guitar
     E                                              
 Yea put a sawing fiddle right square in the middle,
          F#             B   
 Straight out of a Texas bar,
        E                                      
 And y'all give us a song that we all can sing,
               A         
 From sea to shining sea,
      E                                 
 Yeah be proud of it and always love it,
          B                 E   
 That's what this country needs,
