Intro:

E
 
 
Verse 1:
E
Well, it Jones's like George and it Merles like Haggard
C                    B
Rocks like a jukebox on three legs
      E
Went away for a while then it came back sadder
       C                          B
Been a long long night but it's a brand new day
 
 
Chorus:
     E
Wake up and smell the country
       A                    E
Just a-ringin' like a fire alarm
     A
Wake up and smell the country
                           E
Just swingin' like a steel guitar
                A
Yeah, it's been twangin' like a Tele
      E
And a-pickin' like a chicken
A                           B
Rollin' like a train comin' home
     E
Wake up and smell the country
    C                  B       E
Aw, can't you hear the country song

Verse 2:
E
They thought they'd run it off to make their pockets get deeper
C                      B
Stackin' up money like bales of hay
             E
But now it's hotter than a sermon from a backwoods preacher
C                       B
Pickin' up steam on the radio waves
 
 
Chorus:
     E
Wake up and smell the country
       A                    E
Just a-ringin' like a fire alarm
     A
Wake up and smell the country
                           E
Just swingin' like a steel guitar
                A
Yeah, it's been twangin' like a Tele
      E
And a-pickin' like a chicken
A                           B
Rollin' like a train comin' home
     E
Wake up and smell the country
    C                  B       E
Aw, can't you hear the country song
 
 
Bridge:
         A       E
Don't it hurt so good
         A       E
Don't it feel so right
         A          E
Don't it sound just like
A          B
Home sweet home
 
 
Chorus:
     E
Wake up and smell the country
       A                    E
Just a-ringin' like a fire alarm
     A
Wake up and smell the country
                           E
Just swingin' like a steel guitar
                A
Yeah, it's been twangin' like a Tele
      E
And a-pickin' like a chicken
A                           B
Rollin' like a train comin' home
     E
Wake up and smell the country
    C                  B       E
Aw, can't you hear the country song
 
 
Bridge:
              A
Yeah, if it's pickin' like a chicken
      E
And a-twangin' like a Tele
A                             B
Don't you think it's been too long
     E
Wake up and smell the country
    C                  B          E
Aw, can't you hear the country song
