Intro
Am G F Em X2 
 
Verse 1
Am 
I'm no Hank, I'm no Waylon 
G 
I'm also not claiming it's country I'm playing 
F 
Music changes and that's no news 
Em                                              G 
But that ain't country it's rhythm and blues 
Am 
Hip hop beats and shiny boots 
G 
Bedazzled jeans replaced Nudie Suits 
F 
I'm not here trying to say you're wrong 
Em                                         G 
But you're dropping more names than a DAC song 
Am 
Gone are the days of speakin' your heart 
G 
They got a fat check so they sold out art 
F 
As long as someone's getting paid 
Em                                    G 
Who gives a damn about music anyway 
 
Chorus
Am 
Bring back the songs that make a grown man cry 
G 
Less pop stars more Patsy Clines 
F 
A song so sad it brings a tear to my eye 
Em                                         G 
Or a steel guitar that makes me feel high 
Am 
Cause Country ain't something that you put on 
G 
It's your heart and your soul right there in a song 
F 
The radio these days makes me cry 
Em 
But for a different reason 
G              Am 
Cause Country died 
 
Steel Solo

Verse 2
Am 
Passion and values and talent got tossed 
G 
Makin' people feel got written off 
F 
So I'm dressed in black to mourn the loss 
Em                                               G 
While they cash their checks no matter the cost 
Am 
Make it catchy make it sell 
G 
All originality can go to hell 
F 
As long as they can cast their spell 
Em                                            G 
They'll punch that clock and ring that bell 
Am 
We keep in tune with what feels real 
G 
Keep it independent no record deal 
F 
Livin' on dreams wrapped in Teal 
Em                                                  G 
And we try to bring you something that makes you feel 
 
Chorus
Am 
Bring back the songs that make a grown man cry 
G

F 
A song so sad it brings a tear to my eye 
Em                                         G 
Or a steel guitar that makes me feel high 
Am 
Cause Country ain't something that you put on 
G 
It's your heart and your soul right there in a song 
F 
The radio these days makes me cry 
Em 
But for a different reason 
G              Am 
Cause Country died
