King Of Country Music Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[Bm] batt[D]ered bus pulls into one
more [E]nameless little town
Seem[G]s l[D]ike only m[A]inutes
since he [D]laid his body [A]down
Si[D]lently he wonders if it's
[E]worth the price he paid
[G]Twenty [D]towns in [A]only thirty [D]days[A]
The [D]jug of last night's coffee
is bit[E]ter now and cold
The [G]mirror must be ly[A]ing,
does he [D]really look that [A]old?
There's a [D]pint of vodka somewhere,
just to [E]make it all alright
And the [G]king of country mu[A]sic
sings tonight
[D]He'[A]s the kin[D]g of country music,
[G]swept out on the stage
The [E]make -up and the armor lie,
[A]over up the age
And the [G]screamin' fans acknowledge
A [D]hit from way back [Bm]when
He's the [G]king of country mu[A]sic
once [D]again[Bm]
[A]Ano[D]ther town behind him
And he's [E]back out on the road
[G]How much on [A]can the old bones [D]bear
The heavy [A]load
His [D]kids don't dig his music
Now the [E]answer's solid rock
And he [G]wishes he could
[A]just turn back a [D]clock
[Bb]His man [Eb]tra's backing
memories to [F]1942
That [Ab]was the year his wedd[Bb]ing band
and [Eb]gui tar were both [Bb]new
He [Eb]puts the vodka bottle down
cause it [F]hurts when he gets tired
And the [Ab]king of country mu[Bb]sic
thinks to[Eb]night
[Bb]He's the [Eb]king of country music
And a [Ab]-tappin' on his door
[F]Outside the nameless faces
I [Bb]beg for one more
And the [Ab]screamin' fans acknowledge
[Eb]A hit from way back wh[C]en
He's the [Ab]king of country mu[Bb]sic
once [Eb]again
[Bb]He's the [Eb]king of country music
When he [Ab]steps out on the stage
The [F]make -up and the outlines
[Bb]Cov er up the age
And the [Ab]screamin' fans acknowledge
[Eb]A hit from way back wh[C]en
He's the [Ab]king of country mu[Bb]sic
once [Eb]again
Yes, he's the [Ab]king of country mu[Bb]sic
once [Eb]again
Yes, he's the [Ab]king of country mu[Bb]sic
once again
you
