My Life's Been a Country Song

Now I [D]know how [A]Merle [Bm]Haggard [G]felt
when he [D]sang the words m[A]ama [Bm]tried  [G]
And I've [D]lived those [A]teenage [Bm]Friday [G]nights
With a [D]pyramid of [A]cans in the [Bm]pale moon[G]light
And that[D] summer [A]Becky [Bm]broke my [G]heart
Ala[D]bama sang [A]old flame [Bm]burnin' [G]

Well I've danced with George Strait
[A]Drank with George Jones
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song

It's all about [Bm]fallin' down and [G]gettin' back up
[D]Your good times and [A]hard luck
[Bm]True love and [G]amazing grace
[D]Workin' all week for a [A]back ache
[Bm]  Raisin' cane, [G]Friday nights,
[D]Sunday church to [A]set it right
They can [G]write it [A]on my [Bm]stone,
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song

Now I [D]know how [A]Paycheck [Bm]felt
When he [G]told his [D]boss he can take his [A]job and [Bm]shove it[G]
And I've [D]had the [A]girl that [Bm]made me [G]say
'I [D]like it, I [A]love it, I [Bm]want some more [G]of it'
And I'll[D] alway[A]s reme[Bm]mber just [G]where I wa[D]s
When the [A]world stopped [Bm]turnin' [G]

Through the good and the bad,
The [A]right and the wrong
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song

It's all about [Bm]fallin' down and [G]gettin' back up
[D]Your good times and [A]hard luck
[Bm]True love and [G]amazing grace
[D]Workin' all week for a [A]back ache
[Bm]  Raisin' cane, [G]Friday nights,
[D]Sunday church to [A]set it right
They can [G]write it [A]on my [Bm]stone,
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song

[A]It's been the [G]words when I [D/F#]couldn't find '[A]em
[A]A f[G]riend when I've [D/F#]been a[A]lone
I[A]t's been the [G]toast to [D/F#]things rememb[A]ered, the s[E]trength for movin on

It's all about [Bm]fallin' down and [G]gettin' back up
[D]Your good times and [A]hard luck
[Bm]True love and [G]amazing grace
[D]Workin' all week for a [A]back ache
[Bm]  Raisin' cane, [G]Friday nights,
[D]Sunday church to [A]set it right
They can [G]write it [A]on my [Bm]stone,
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song

[Bm] [G] [D] [A]

Oh my [G]life's been [A]a country [D]song
