Date: 1/8/97; 11:38:55 PM From: [email protected] (Gene L. Graham) Subject: IF IT WEREN'T FOR COUNTRY MUSIC I'D GO CRAZY
IF IT WEREN'T FOR COUNTRY MUSIC I'D GO CRAZY Recorded by Clinton Gregory Words and music by Alan Syms
CAPO on 2nd FRET/KEY: E/PLAY: D I [D] sit here by the Jukebox in this country bar I gotta hear some fiddle and some [A7] steel guitar A month ago my lovin' lady threw me out And I don't know what to do, so I [D] do without;
This old city brings me down, it ain't been good to me But it's all that I can [D7] do to keep my [G] sanity But the [A7] future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right And If It Weren't For Country Music I'd Go [D] Crazy.
I got [G] holes in my boots, I got [D] holes in my jeans [A7] Holes in my pockets, man you [D] know what that means Between the [G] bar tab and the jukebox, my [D] money's all been spent I'd even [E] vote for Merle Haggard for [A7] president;
Play some [D] HANK, Play some WILLIE, Play some RESTLESS HEART But don't play "A TENDER [D7] LIE" 'cause I might [G] fall apart But the [A7] future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right And If It Weren't For Country Music I'd Go [D] Crazy.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
Repeat 3rd and 4th Verses
But the [A7] future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right And If It Weren't For Country Music I'd Go [D] Crazy.
