Haggard and Jones
(I haven't seen this one anywhere so here's my best shot at it. Corrections welcome.)
3/4 time
[Intro]
D A D D
[Verse]
D
Yeah I'm a honky tonk rambler, a riverboat gambler
G D
A purveyor of rhythm and rhyme
D
I like a good lookin' woman, domestic light beer
E A
And a song played in three quarter time
D
Old John Wayne movies, and trucks made in De-troit
G D
When it's still on the assembly line
G D
Yeah this world's gone to hell, it's too hard to tell
A D
Who's wrong, 'cause ain't nobody right
[Chorus]
G D
So break out some Haggard, and pour on some Jones
A D
Smoother than whiskey, it cuts to the bone
G D
With everyone lyin', the only truth's in a song
A G D
So break out some Haggard, and pour on some Jones
[Instrumental]
G D D A D
[Verse]
D
Well I ain't complainin', or afraid of some changin'
G D
But I question the road that we're on
D
They're putting hip-hop in country for the love of the money
E A
And not caring they're killing the song
D
I never stand in the way of a man making hay
G D
But I think it's a hell of a thing
G D
When I see 'em shakin' their hips and moving their lips
A D
Without having a damn thing to say
[Chorus]
G D
So break out some Haggard, and pour on some Jones
A D
Smoother than whiskey, it cuts to the bone
G D
With everyone lyin', the only truth's in a song
A G D
So break out some Haggard, and pour on some Jones
[Outro]
D A G
Yeah break out a little Merle Haggard
D
...And pour out a little bit for George Jones
