INTRO:

E  D  A  E     E  B  E


VERSE:

E           D            A           E
Call me old fashioned or just out of style
E                 D               A      E
There's something missing on that radio dial
        E           D        A          E
Doesn't anyone get lonesome, man what a shame
     (A) E            B            E
It's too country for country these days


CHORUS: (*alternate the base note in the chord strums)

             A                                E            F#-Ab (Base note walk up)
I wanna hear songs about prison, and midnight trains 
   A                                    E      
A working man's livin' and heart's that break 
A                                                            C#m
Cheatin', leavin', barely breathin' trying to drink away the pain
           (A) E           B
But that's too country for country these days


VERSE 2:

E             D        A         E
Someone who's lived it sing me a song
         E         D      A    E
Let that old steel guitar cry along
    E            D          A         E
I'm real and I'm honest and set in my ways
         E           B             E
Just too country for country these days


CHORUS: (*alternate the base note in the chord strums)

             A                                E            F#-Ab (walk up)
I wanna hear songs about prison, and midnight trains 
   A                                    E
A working man's livin' and heart's that break 
A                                                            C#m
Cheatin', leavin', barely breathin' trying to drink away the pain
           (A)   E           B             E     (A)(A) E  B  E    F#-Ab (walk up)
But that's too country for country these days
  

A                                                            C#m
Cheatin', leavin', barely breathin' trying to drink away the pain
           (A) E           B             E
But that's too country for country these days
A       E           B             E
Oh, too country for country these days
