[Verse 1]
[D]The[G]re'[D]s
a hound dog running all
alone through the piney wood[Bm]s
[G]Lord he's howling,
tears the soul out [D]of me
There's a jay bird calling out a funeral [Bm]dirge
In an[G]cient harmony
[D]Barbary
[Bm]Al len rolled over
In a [G]grave all mornin'
With [D]roses [G]growin' out of her [A]head
Hey,
[D]God's gonna [G]burn down
[D]Nashville, boys
[G]Cause
Jimmy
Martin's dead
[D]All the great
Jimmy
Mar[A]tin's gone [D]dead
You got 20 -20 vis[G]ion
But you're [D]walkin' around blind
You grand old
[A]Opry [D]fools
With your hypocritic judg[G]ments and
your [D]self -righteous snobbery
Your goddamn [A]false -hearted [D]rules
You [Bm]scorned
Hank
Williams
You [G]shunned
Jimmy
Martin
Boys who [D]sang with [G]tongues on [A]fire
So
[D]God's gonna burn [G]down your [D]grand old
Opry
Hear the [G]screams of the
hypocrites and [D]li ars
They feel safer now that
[A]Jimmy has ex[D]pired
Yeah, [A]run,
Pete, run
Your [G]master's calling you
[D]He's waiting on up [G]ahe[A]ad
[Bm]Don't look back
[G]Nashville's burning [D]down

[Verse 2]
[D]I ain't h[G]eard a good coun
[D]try song since [A]1973[D]
Oh, the [Bm]king of bluegrass
