Capo 3
[Verse 1]
Em C
Picture they took of you in your cowboy hat
G D
Makes you look like you were one of the boys
Em
Out on a saturday night, meanwhile
C
On the outside of the dance hall
G D
I'm a joke that you'd prob'ly enjoy
Em C
On the outside of Memphis all the buildings look big
G D
And the white picket fences all dare to charge
Em
Around the lawn and hold their heads up high
C
When my head-lights find them out
G D
They'll be the first to put their hands in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
With my radio on
D G C
Oh singing a country song
C G/B C G/B Em
Soft and low
[Verse 2]
Em C
So living on the edge of the city limit line
G D
This is where the boundary finally ends
Em
And I swear that we're the last living souls
C
In a populated ghost town
G D
All the billboards are our best friends
Em C
Oh which way did our last chance go
G D
And can we get out if we go right now?
Em C
Cause it seems that with the malls and the mega-church stadiums
G D
We would get out if we knew just how
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
With the radio on
D G C
Oh singing a country song
C G/B C G/B
Soft and low
[Chorus]
C B7 G C G B7
Ooh and I've got a worried mind I know
B7 Am
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
B7 Am
On the Grand Ol' Opry Show
Em C G/B x6
Em
[Verse 3]
Em C
Standing in line to get my self-help book signed off
G D
On by the reverand who shouts to the converted
Em C
Have mercy on this boy, he did it all by the book,
G D
But still kind of has his doubts
Em C
Yeah look pretty good in that jonquil dress
G D
But your smile is a wooden nickle's pride and I know that
Em C
It ain't worth much, it feels good to touch
G D
And I think that I could dance if I tried
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
With the radio on
D G C
Oh singing a country song
C G/B C G/B
Soft and low
[Chorus]
C B7 G C G B7
Oh and I've got a worried mind I know
B7 Am
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
B7 Am
On the Grand Ol' Opry Show
Em C G/B Em C G/B
