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 | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC D D#dim Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
