Country Died chords

[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [F] [Em] X2

[VERSE 1]
[Am]I'm no Hank, I'm no Waylon
[G]I'm also not claiming it's country I'm playing
[F]Music changes and that's no news
[Em]But that ain't country it's rhythm and blues [G]
[Am]Hip hop beats and shiny boots
[G]Bedazzled jeans replaced Nudie Suits
[F]I'm not here trying to say you're wrong
[Em]But you're dropping more names than a DAC s[G]ong
[Am]Gone are the days of speakin' your heart
[G]They got a fat check so they sold out art
[F]As long as someone's getting paid
[Em]Who gives a damn about music anyway [G]

[CHORUS]
[Am]Bring back the songs that make a grown man cry
[G]Less pop stars more Patsy Clines
[F]A song so sad it brings a tear to my eye
[Em]Or a steel guitar that makes me feel high [G]
[Am]Cause Country ain't something that you put on
[G]It's your heart and your soul right there in a song
[F]The radio these days makes me cry
[Em]But for a different reason
[G]Cause Country d[Am]ied

[VERSE 2]
[Am]Passion and values and talent got tossed
[G]Makin' people feel got written off
[F]So I'm dressed in black to mourn the loss
[Em]While they cash their checks no matter the cost [G]
[Am]Make it catchy make it sell
[G]All originality can go to hell
[F]As long as they can cast their spell
[Em]They'll punch that clock and ring that bell [G]
[Am]We keep in tune with what feels real
[G]Keep it independent no record deal
[F]Livin' on dreams wrapped in Teal
[Em]And we try to bring you something that makes you fee[G]l

[CHORUS]
