D                                   G      D
They're kicking up their heels in a pub downtown
D                          G               D
Guitars are screamin' and beers are going round
D                          G               D
Lights are flashing blue, yellow, green and red
D
"Move baby move," that's what the singer said


[Chorus]
 G                            D
"Country playing now," said a sign across the door
  E                       A
A blonde in a miniskirt screamin' out for more
        G                              D
They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
                            C      D
It's just rock 'n roll in a cowboy hat

[Verse 2]
  D                          G                  D
Sidestepped a drunk who was movin' through the crowd
  D                         G          D
Sayin' to myself that the band's too loud
  D                       G                D
Went up to the bar and ordered scotch and coke
  D                            A        D
Thinkin' that the price was a damn bad joke


[Chorus]
       G                             D
Yeah, "Country playing now," said a sign across the door
    E                      A
A blonde in a miniskirt screamin' out for more
         G                             D
They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
                             C     D
It's just rock 'n roll in a cowboy hat

(Hey!)

[Verse 3]
  D                                 G         D
Linedance and scooting and rock and roll and swing
                          G        D
Other folks steppin' out any damn thing
                          G             D
I downed my drink and I headed for the door
                          A        D
This old balladeer can't take any more


[Chorus]
  G                            D
"Country playing now," said a sign across the door
   E                        A

They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
                              C    D
It's just rock 'n roll in a cowboy hat


[Outro]
   D                                              G
They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
            D                       C         D
Well, it's just rock 'n roll in an old Akubra hat
