King Of Country Music chords by Tanya Tucker

Chords with lyrics

C majorC                  D7D7
The battered bus pulls into one more nameless little town

  G7G7                C majorC
It seems like only minutes since he laid his body down

              D7D7
Silently he wonders if it's worth the price he pays

G7G7             C majorC
Twenty towns in only thirty days


                 D7D7
The jug of last night's coffee is bitter now and cold

G7G7                  C majorC
And the mirror must be lying does he really look that old

                   D7D7
There's a pint of vodka somewhere to make it all alright

G7G7                  C majorC
Cause the King of Country Music sings tonight

                FF
He's the King of Country Music and he steps out on the stage

  D7D7                G7G7
The makeup and the amber lights have covered up the age

    FF              C majorC         D7D7
And the screaming fans acknowledge a hit from way back when

     G7G7             C majorC
He's the King of Country Music once again


              D7D7
Another town behind him and back out on the road

G7G7                C majorC
How much longer can the old bones bear the heavy load

               D7D7
His kids don't dig his music now they're into solid rock

G7G7                    C majorC
And he wishes he could just turn back the clock

                  D7D7
His mind drifts back in memories to nineteen forty-two

G7G7                   C majorC
That was the year his wedding band and guitar were both new

                    D7D7
He puts the vodka bottle down cause he hurts when he gets tight

G7G7                 C majorC
And the King of Country Music sings tonight


                  FF
He's the King of Country Music and they're tapping on his door

D7D7               G7G7
Outside the nameless faces are begging for one more

    FF              C majorC         D7D7
And the screaming fans acknowledge a hit from way back when

     G7G7             C majorC
He's the King of Country Music once again


                FF
He's the King of Country Music and he steps out on the stage

  D7D7                G7G7
The makeup and the amber lights have covered up the age

    FF              C majorC         D7D7
And the screaming fans acknowledge a hit from way back when

     G7G7             C majorC
He's the King of Country Music once again
