     C
They told him to just fade away,
    F                  G                      C
His time had past, and all his kind would die young


♫ Verse 1:
       C                                              F
But he remembers when Hank played the Opry, high as a kite
      G                                    C
While Patsy Cline was out walkin' after midnight
        C                                        F
Well he saw the torch being passed from Lefty to Merle
            F                              G                           C
Now there's so called successors, but it's hard to find a hero in this world

♫ Chorus:
            C                        F
There ain't no country music for old men
G                                                C
All of the good ones have died or just packed it in
            C                                                              F
Now there's posers and losers and would-be outlaws who only know how to pretend
                G                        C
But there ain't no country music for old men


♫ Verse 2:
       C                                                F
He was sittin' on a bar stool the first time he heard Jolene
  F                     G               C
A song by the prettiest angel he'd ever seen
C                                                F
Back when Nashville was swingin' and makin' them deals
      F                          G                C
While Buck was out strollin' the streets of Bakersfield


♫ Chorus:
            C                        F
There ain't no country music for old men
G                                                C
All of the good ones have died or just packed it in
            C                                                              F
Now there's posers and losers and would-be outlaws who only know how to pretend
                G                        C
But there ain't no country music for old men


♫ Verse 3:
F                                     C
Loretta and Conway, Jones and Tammy Wynette
C
Songs about prisons, passion and whiskey
F                                 G    A   D
That's as good as it's ever gonna get (key change to D)


♫ Verse 4:
     D                                                   G
They call him nostalgic with a permanent case of the blues
        G                                             D
He just walks around wonderin' who's gonna fill their shoes
        D                                                 G
Lookin' back on the great ones we've lost, he says why so soon?
           G                     A                    D
He shed an ocean of tears on the graves of Johnny and June


♫ Chorus:
               D                     G
There ain't no country music for old men
A                                                D
All of the good ones have died or just packed it in
            D                                                              G
Now there's posers and losers and would-be outlaws who only know how to pretend
                A                        D
But there ain't no country music for old men
             A                        D
There ain't no country music for old men
