Tom : D
D
Just a skinny little Mississippi railroad man
G
That loved to sing and play
A
He brought his music from the cotton fields
D
To the the hillbilly hall of fame
Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers
G
Chisel his name in the cornerstone
A
I just wish he could've lived to see the day
G A D
When country took the throne
D
Now a million songs have come and gone
G
Since we made that humble start
A
About neon nights, everyday life
D
Love and broken hearts
And more and more folks
G
Kept tuning in and turning on
A
Now I can proudly say that I saw the day
[Refrão]
G A D
When country took the throne
G D
Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York
A
They can't get enough of this country stuff
G D
And they're screaming for more
We painted the town with that grand old sound
A G
And the whole world sang along
[Próxima Parte]
D
Yes, I was there the day
A D
When country took the throne
D
Now, no one knows what the future holds
G
But I bet my best guitar
A
There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter
D
And a honky-tonk on Mars
In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer
G
The best music ever known
A
They'll celebrate that age old day
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
D
Yes, I was there the day
A D
When country took the throne
G
I said I was there the day
A D
When country took the throne
