Capo 4



      D        A     Bm      G
Now I know how Merle Haggard felt
        D               A   Bm     G
when he sang the words mama tried
         D           A       Bm     G
And I've lived those teenage Friday nights
       D          A           Bm       G
With a pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
        D       A     Bm       G
And that summer Becky broke my heart
   D         A         Bm      G
Alabama sang old flame burnin'

Well I've danced with George Strait
A
Drank with George Jones
   G             A       D
My life's been a country song



Chorus:
               Bm               G
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up
D                   A
Your good times and hard luck
Bm            G
True love and amazing grace
D                      A
Workin' all week for a back ache
Bm              G
  Raisin' cane, Friday nights,
D                A
Sunday church to set it right
         G        A     Bm
They can write it on my stone,
   G             A       D
My life's been a country song




      D        A        Bm
Now I know how Paycheck felt
        G        D                    A       Bm      G
When he told his boss he can take his job and shove it
         D       A         Bm      G
And I've had the girl that made me say
   D          A          Bm             G
'I like it, I love it, I want some more of it'
        D     A     Bm        G         D
And I'll always remember just where I was
         A             Bm      G
When the world stopped turnin'

Through the good and the bad,
    A
The right and the wrong
   G             A       D
My life's been a country song



               Bm               G
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up
D                   A
Your good times and hard luck
Bm            G
True love and amazing grace
D                      A
Workin' all week for a back ache
Bm              G
  Raisin' cane, Friday nights,
D                A
Sunday church to set it right
         G        A     Bm
They can write it on my stone,
   G             A       D
My life's been a country song



Bridge:
A             G            D/F#           A
It's been the words when I couldn't find 'em
A  G               D/F#  A
A friend when I've been alone
 A            G        D/F#         A          E
It's been the toast to things remembered, the strength for movin on



               Bm               G
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up
D                   A
Your good times and hard luck
Bm            G
True love and amazing grace
D                      A
Workin' all week for a back ache
Bm              G
  Raisin' cane, Friday nights,
D                A
Sunday church to set it right
         G        A     Bm
They can write it on my stone,
   G             A       D
My life's been a country song

Bm G D A

      G           A         D
Oh my life's been a country song
