Tom : D
D
If I was a running this country
G D
I'd start it over from scratch
D
Keep what's good, pile up what's bad
A
And then I'd strike the match
D
Yeah, we go back to the basics
G
Of how things ought to be
D
Yeah, there'd be a line of changes
A D
If it was left up to me
CHORUS:
D
Cause what this country needs
G D
Is a little more steel guitar
[Refrão]
D
And put a little fiddle right in the middle
E A
Straight out of a Texas bar
D
And give us a song we can all sing along
G
From sea to shining sea
Yeah be proud of it and always love it
A D
That's what this country needs
[Próxima Parte]
D
Now if you want to hear about living
G D
Just twist that radio dial
D A
You come to a singer singing what life's all about
D
But you can't deny that people still cry
G
They laugh and they smile and they hurt
D
That's my humble opinion y'all
A D
you can take it for what it's worth
CHORUS:
D
Cause what this country needs
G D
Is a little more steel guitar
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
BRIDGE:
G
Yeah turn it on up and let it ring out
D
Across the land of the free
E
They ought to build a statue to Hank Williams Senior
A
And watch it change the scenery
CHORUS:
D
Cause what this country needs
G D
Is a little more steel guitar
D
Yea put a sawing fiddle right square in the middle
E A
Straight out of a Texas bar
D
And y'all give us a song that we all can sing
G
From sea to shining sea
D
Yeah be proud of it and always love it
A D
That's what this country needs
