I sure miss ol Waylon and Paycheck's paid his dues
D A
Chet Atkins on that red guitar, Carl Perkins blue suede shoes
D G
Well you just don't hear old Hank that much, without Cash we all lose
D A D
Maybe that's why country music has the blues
Roy Acuff and Miss Minnie Pearl is who this country needs
And all them cheatin and drinkin songs that make your poor heart bleed
Yeah, the Possum's done gone missin before his time was through
Maybe that's why country music has the blues
Chorus 1:
G D
If it makes you feel better, blame me if you want to
D A G D
But I think country music has the blues
Merle Haggard and all those strangers, you know they ain't heard anymore
And old Buck and Conway Twitty, they used to pack that old dance floor
And Loretta, Patsy, and Tammy Wynette, I bet they ain't amused
And I bet they aint suprised to hear that Nashville has the blues
Chorus 2:
G D
If it makes you feel better, blame me if you want to,
D A D G
but I think country music, and I know country music,
D A G D
Yeah I'm sure country music has the blues
