Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Straight  out of Nashville,  here’s your  next big star
He  don’t write the songs he sings,  but he knows the words by heart.
Wears  a cowboy hat,  and some tight blue jeans,
And  he struts around the  stage like he’s the coolest thing you’ve ever seen.
 Oh you gotta  love  him!
He  looks like a super  model, knows  how to strike a pose
And  he don’t mind the make  up as long as no one  knows.
And  he’s got that crooked grin,  and talks with  a southern drawl,
Acts  like Toby Keith  but sounds a lot like Tim McGraw
 But if  he’s country ill kiss  your ass,
 And throw  all my Willie Nelson records in the  trash.
 He’s the same old  shit in a slightly different  bag,
 But if he’s country,  well then country’s pretty  bad.
I  don’t watch CMT
No  that shit makes me  sick.
And  that ole Kenny Chesney,
What  a hypocrite.
Hell  swear he’s country
But  he lives in the Caribbean.
Sings  all about the islands  now,
 What happened  to the Tennessean?
Aw  if he’s country  ill kiss your ass
 Throw all my Johnny  cash records in the trash
 He’s all  about image cause image pays  the bucks,
 Aw but if he’s country, well  then country really sucks.
 What happened  to the outlaws?
 Who weren’t  afraid to cross the line?
What  happened  to the workin man?
 Who sang the truth about  their troubled lives?
I  was raised  in Georgia, in a one  red light town.
And  my daddy picked guitar  in every honky tonk  around
And  he taught me all the good  stuff,
That  solid country  gold,  but now  I love it all  from hip-hop to rock  and roll
 And if that ain’t  country, well I don’t give a  damn
 My daddy  to be my own kinda man
 He said son you  don’t have to go along with the crowd  aw
 So if I ain’t Country  then im pretty frikin proud
 Oh well I don’t  need their labels anyhow
