                            JOHN BAUMANN


INTRO:
C  Am7  G  F
C  Am7  G  F

VERSE:
          C                     Am7
The music on my father`s stereo every Saturday
 G                                        F
Was back when steel and fiddle had their time to interplay
       C                                Am7
It was my first drive in that old car, killed the battery,
 G                                   F
Listening till the sun came up on a summer nights dream
 C                               Am7
Songs for the working class, and those looking for love,
 G                               F              F
They took you to a place deep inside or up above


CHORUS:
         Am                   F
I don`t hear `em on my FM radio
         Am            G         F
I don`t know why they all had to go

    Am           G         F
My father would call it a shame
G                               C   Am7  G  F
 The country doesn`t sound the same


VERSE:
  C                           Am7
There`s a hardhat crew laying tar up by the gate
 G
They don`t care whose land they carve,
    F
As long as their checks aren`t late
 C                                 Am7
Tax bond brought the highway and a 100 mobile homes
  G                               F
They`re clearing space every day for commercial zones


CHORUS:
       Am              G          F
I can hear it out the kitchen window
          Am              G               F
The farm ain`t the quiet place I used to know
      Am            G                    F
Everybody`s headed west to stake their claim
G                              Am7
 The country doesn`t sound the same


BREAK:
                   G
Times are always changing
                    C
Are the good Times gone?
                   G
No more open sky above me
                       Am7
No more soul left in a song

                G                  F
I know it don`t do no good to complain
G                              Am7  G  F  F
 The country doesn`t sound the same


VERSE:
C                            Am7
 I fear we`re living in the strangest of times
          G                                   F
Where no matter where you stand you`re always on opposing sides
C                                      Am7
As the noise runs around the clock and no one can cut through

         G
I don`t know when it will end
         F
I don`t know what we can do


CHORUS:
        Am      G                F
I lie awake at night and wonder how
         Am           G           F
I don`t know what to think of us now
    Am            G              F
It doesn`t do no good in laying blame

G                               C  Am7  G  F
 The country doesn`t sound the same


OUTRO:
 F                             C  Am7  G  F  C
The country doesn`t sound the same
