[Verse]
C G
Well here lies country music
C G
Had a damn good run
C G D
It took its last Nashville lap around a Ring of Fire sun
C G
Jack Daniel's in the front row
C G
Right next to steel guitar
C G D
The headline said, the cause of death was a lonely broken heart
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause you can't cheat on the radio
D Em
Or be proud of where you're from
C G D
Trucks ran out of red dirt roads and beer quit getting you drunk
C G D Eb Em
Yeah the thing about all good things is they all come to an end
C G
So here lies country music
D G
Rest easy, my old friend
[Post Chorus]

[Verse]
C G
It had a couple close calls
C G
With names I won't mention
C G D
But it stayed strong with Always On My Mind and Family Tradition
C G
Helped people through some hard times
C G
More times than you can count
C G D
So you hate to see three chords and the truth, six feet in the ground
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause you can't cheat on the radio
D Em
Or be proud of where you're from
C G D
Trucks ran out of red dirt roads and beer quit getting you drunk
C G D Eb Em
Yeah the thing about all good things is they all come to an end
C G
So here lies country music
D G
Rest easy, my old friend
[Post-Chorus]
D C G D
Oh-oh
[Bridge]
C G
I woke up in a cold sweat
C G
To my alarm clock radio
C G D
A new song came on about a honkytonk drunk heart that just got broke
C G
And I said, "thank you, Jesus"
C G
That dream was all made up
C G D
And I pray that I leave this world before country music does
[Chorus]
C G
When you can't cheat on the radio
D Em
Or be proud of where you're from
C G D
Trucks ran out of red dirt roads and beer quit getting you drunk
C G D Eb Em
Yeah I'll tell you some crazy words I never wanna say again
C G
Here lies country music
D Em
Rest easy, my old friend
C G
Thank you, country music
D C
A--men
