         THE COUNTRY DOESN`T SOUND THE SAME
              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
