If It Weren't For Country Music
By Clinton Gregory

Capo 2

  D
I sit here by the jukebox in this country bar
                                  A
I gotta hear some fiddle and some steel guitar

A month ago my lovin' lady threw me out
                                       D
And I don't know what to do, so I just do without

This old city brings me down, it ain't been good to me
                        D7            G
But it's all that I can do to keep my sanity
        A
But the future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right
                                           D
And if it weren't for country music I'd go crazy

Chorus:
      G                        D
I got holes in my boots, I got holes in my jeans
A7                           D
Holes in my pockets, man you know what that means
            G                           D
Between the bar tab and the jukebox, my money's all been spent
        E7                         A 
And I’d vote for Merle Haggard for president
          D
Play some Hank, play some Willie, play some Restless Heart
                         D7                       G
But don't play "A Tender Lie" 'cause I might fall apart
        A
But the future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right
                                           D
And if it weren't for country music I'd go crazy

Repeat Chorus
