Intro:
G C     F  G   C

Verse:
                                                        Am
There's a hound dog running all alone through the piney woods
          F                             C
Lord, his howling tears the soul out of me
                                         Am
There's a jay bird calling out a funeral dirge
   F             C
In ancient harmony

Verse:
        Am                     F
Barb'ry Allen rolled over in a grave all morning
     C             F          G
With roses growing out of her head
     C           F         C                F
Hey, god's gonna burn down Nashville, boys
                      C
'Cause Jimmy Martin's dead
                    G             C
Ah, the great Jimmy Martin's gone dead

Verse:
                      F                  C
You got twenty-twenty vision, but you're walking 'round blind
              G    C
You Grand Ole Opry fools
                     F                  C
With your hypocritic judgments and your self-righteous snobbery
               G             C
Your goddamned false hearted rule

Verse:
    Am                         F
You scorned Hank Williams, you shunned Jimmy Martin
         C         F          G
Boys who sang with tongues on fire
   C           F              C
So god's gonna burn down your Grand Ole Opry
         F                             C
Hear the screams of the hypocrites and liars
                         G           C
They feel safer now that Jimmy has expired

Chorus:
      G                    F
Yeah, run, Pete, run, your master's calling you
     C          F   G
He's waiting on up ahead
Am               F                        C
Don't look back, Nashville's burning down
      G        C
Jimmy Martin's dead
                    G             C
Oh, the great Jimmy Martin's gone dead

Yeah, don't call me no country singer
                 G        C
Those are poison words to me
               F            C
'Cause I ain't heard a good country song
               G       C
Since Nineteen Seventy-Three

Verse:
        Am                    F
Ah, the king of bluegrass has died for your sins
             C          F                G
The whore of Babylon is sleeping in your bed
    C           F         C                F
So, god's gonna burn down Nashville, boys

Yeah, the great Jimmy Martin's gone dead
