Intro: (A) (A) (A) (A) 

 (A) Let me just say for the sake of conversation
 (A) If there's such a thing as reincarnation
 But (A) don't you go cryin' for me when I'm gone
 'Cause I'm (NC) gonna come back as a country song

   I'll be (D) playing all night in every honky tonk bar
   In the (A) middle of a fiddle and a steel guitar
   I'm (E) hoping when the good Lord calls me home
   I'm (A) gonna come back as a country song.

 I don't have to say it'd be Heaven to me
 Watching neon lights for eternity
 So go ahead and put it on my headstone
 Yeah, I'm gonna come back as a country song

Chorus

Fiddle Solo

Steel Guitar Solo

 So here I am on a stool tonight
 And I'm practicing for the after life
 'Cause when I'm nothing but a pile of bones
 I'm gonna come back as a country song
