David Allan Coe - Another Pretty Country Song
Capo 1
D A D
I bought this rhinestone suit in California
G A D
These boots came all the way from Mexico
G A
This Cadillac ain't nothin' son
D
You ought to see the greyhound
E A
I bought to take my band from show to show
D A D
Seen my face a thousand times on TV
G D A
And heard me on your local radio
G A D Bm
And in your eyes I see the admiration there for me
G A D
But son there's something that ought to know.
A D
Well I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'
G D A
Motel rooms ain't nothin? like a home
G D
Money can't make love grow any stronger
E A
When you leave your woman home alone
G D
She can't raise the children with no daddy
G D A
She can't love a man that's always gone
G
It takes a whole lot more than pride
D A Bm
To keep your feelings locked inside
D A D
While you sing Another Pretty Country Song.
G A D
I've seen your face a thousand times on TV
G A D
I've heard you on my local radio.
D A D
It's true I took some pills to stay awake son
A D
And this diamond ring I wear is just for show
G A D
I've got a little cabin in the country
E A
When I'm not on the road that's where I go
D A D
Try and put my feelings down on paper
G D A
Right or wrong the show has to go on
G D
I can cry deep down inside and keep on smilin'
D A D
While I sing Another Pretty Country Song
A D A D
But I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'.
