G                     C             G
Born in this country, red white and blue
     G                                           D
From church pews to bar stools, it's always been true
     G                        C           G 
From up in the mountains, way back in the pines
     G                        D           G
From Crazy to Sweet Dreams to Yesterday's Wine
G#                    C#       G#
All of my heroes from Lefty to Jones
G#                                        D# 
Some are still with us and some have gone home
   G#                               C#         G# 
Oh precious are the memories of the music they made
   C#   G#          D#          G 
Forever living, not held by the grave

[Chorus]
D#                  C#          G#
Forever and Always, Chiseled in Stone
     C#         G#                          D#
Like honky tonk prophets their words linger on
   G#                                     C#
If you don't believe me, if you need some proof
    C#      G#            D#           G#
Ask any old jukebox, hey, ain't it the truth

[Verse]
A                  D        A 
Honest and simple, never ashamed
A                           E
Lord help us Jesus never to change
    A                       D          A
One day I'll see Lefty when my work is through
          A                         E            A 
He'll say son you were country, oh, ain't it the truth

[Chorus/Outro]
   E                D           A
Forever and Always, Chiseled in Stone
     D          A                           E
Like honky tonk prophets their words linger on
   A                                      D
If you don't believe me, if you need some proof
    D       A             E            F#m D
Ask any old jukebox, hey, ain't it the truth
    D       A             E            A
Ask any old jukebox, hey, ain't it the truth
