Kicked Outta Country - George Strait
Listen to the way King George plays it here: https://youtu.be/GuDJwpw9Pbw

Drop-D tuning to get that nice bass note on the D. The weird-looking
"A7 Fmaj13 Emmaj9 E/G" is a really simple slide up. Start on the A7
(xx2020) then slide it up one fret (xx3030), then slide it up 1 more
fret (xx4040), then end on the 5th fret (xx5050). It is lot easier
to play than it is to write-out! See it played by me here:

[Verse]
D A G
I just got the news today
D A G
the record I sent them they threw it away
D A G A
It don’t fit the format, don’t make the list
D A G A
They said I’m too old, won’t even be missed

Bm A
It happened to Jones, and even The Hag
D A G
Waylon and Willie, and the great Johnny Cash
D A G A
Kicked em right out, without even a word
D A A7 Fmaj13 Emmaj9 E/G
But that ain't the end of the story I heard

[Chorus]
G D
Cash stomped out the footlights
G A
Haggard plum had a ball
E
And Willie and Waylon and Kris toured the nation
A G A
And Jones never showed up at all
D F# G E
They lived what they wrote, and wrote what they sang
G D A Bm
So getting kicked outta country didn’t hurt a thing
G D A D
Getting kicked outta country didn’t hurt a thing

[Break]
D F# G E G D A D

[Verse]
D A G
I just wrote a new song today
D A G
I pulled out my old guitar, and I started to play
D A G A
Pressing my fingers into the strings
D A G A
I felt the feeling a country song brings
Bm A
I did some Jones, and one for The Hag
D A G
Waylon and Willie, and the great Johnny Cash
D A G A
They all got kicked outta country back then
D A A7 Fmaj13 Emmaj9 E/G
But then one day country came calling again

[Chorus]
G D
Cash stomped out the footlights
G A
Haggard plum had a ball
E
And Willie and Waylon and Kris toured the nation
A G A
And Jones showed up after all
D F# G E
They lived what they wrote, and wrote what they sang
G D A Bm
So getting kicked outta country didn’t hurt a thing
G D A D
Getting kicked outta country didn’t hurt a thing

[Outro]
D F# G E
It don’t really matter, because I ain’t gonna change
G D A D
Cause getting kicked outta country, won’t hurt a thing
D
