Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Dm][D][C][Bm][A][Dm][D][C][Csus2][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
My [D]grandmother owned a night club
On the [C]Arkansas-Oklahoma [G]line
[D]line[C][G]
Mama [D]put me on a Greyhound
And I went to stay with her
in the sum[A]mertime
I'd box [G]up those empty long necks
And [F]stack 'em in [C]the back
and make a [Dm]hand[G]
Then at night [D]she'd let me sneak out
Of the kit[C]chen and sit
[G]in with the band
[Dm][D]

[Verse 2]
Yes, I have sacked [Dm]some quarterbacks
And [C]broke my [Csus2]share of bon[G]es
along [D]the way[C][G]
[D]I knew it wouldn't last forever
Semi-pro always always means semi-paid
[A]I I[G] started climbing drilling rigs
I'm oil [F]field trash and [C]proud as I can [Dm]be,
[G]yeah
Then I took [D]my songs and guitar
And [C]sang 'em to [G]a man from
Tenness[D]ee[Dm][D]

[Verse 3]
I've played [G]every beer joint tavern
From [F]New York City [C]out to Pasade[Dm]na[D]
[Dm]Every corn[D] dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball [A]arena
Like to get [D]down with my boys
In Afgh[C]anistan and [G]Baghdad city [D]too[G]
I am a [D]red, white and [F]blue blood
[Bb]Graduate of [Csus2]honky-tonk [D]U

[C][G][A][Dm][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 4]
A [E]star can't burn forever
And [D]the brightest ones [A]will someday
lose their [Em]shine[E][D][A]
But [E]the glass won't ever be
Half empty in my optimistic [B]mind
I'll [A]still have a song to sing
And a [G]band to turn [D]it up and
play it [E]loud[Em][G][A]
As [Em]long as there's a bar room
With [D]a corner stage and [A]a
honky-tonk [E]crowd
[Em]crowd

[Verse 5]
I've played [A]every beer joint tavern
From [G]New York City [D]out [E]to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball [B]arena
I like to get [E]down with my boys
In Afgh[D]anistan [A]and Baghdad city [E]too[A]
Son, I'm a [E]red, [Em]white and [G]blue blood
[C]Graduate of [D]honky-tonk U
[E]U
That's right a red,
white and [G]blue blood
[C]Graduate of [D]honky-tonk [E]U
