D                         G               
I sure miss ol Waylon and Paycheck's paid his dues 
     D                               A  
Chet Atkins on that red guitar, Carl Perkins blue suede shoes 
         D                                      G 
Well you just don't hear old Hank that much, without Cash we all lose 
      D                  A             D 
Maybe that's why country music has the blues 


Roy Acuff and Miss Minnie Pearl is who this country needs  
And all them cheatin and drinkin songs that make your poor heart bleed  
Yeah, the Possum's done gone missin before his time was through  
Maybe that's why country music has the blues 


Chorus 1: 
   G                               D 
If it makes you feel better, blame me if you want to 
    D               A             G   D 
But I think country music has the blues 


Merle Haggard and all those strangers, you know they ain't heard anymore 
And old Buck and Conway Twitty, they used to pack that old dance floor  
And Loretta, Patsy, and Tammy Wynette, I bet they ain't amused  
And I bet they aint suprised to hear that Nashville has the blues 


Chorus 2: 
   G                               D  
If it makes you feel better, blame me if you want to,  
    D               A          D              G   
but I think country music, and I know country music,  
     D                A             G   D 
Yeah I'm sure country music has the blues
