Strum one down strum per chord on the intro, then start the strum pattern with Verse 1. There is a key change from C to D after Verse 3. I use an optional A chord in the transition from G to D chords after Verse 3.Was this info helpful?

They told him to just fade away,
F G C
His time had past, and all his kind were dyin'
[Verse 1]
C F
But he remembers when Hank played the Opry, high as a kite
G C G
While Patsy Cline was out walkin' after midnight
C F
Well he saw the torch being passed from Lefty to Merle
G C G
Now there's so called successors, but it's hard to find a hero in this world
[Chorus]
C F
There ain't no country music for old men
G C G
All of the good ones have died or just packed it in
C F
Now there's posers and losers and would-be outlaws who only know how to pretend
G C G
But there ain't no country music for old men
[Verse 2]
C F
He was sittin' on a bar stool the first time he heard Jolene
G C G
A song by the prettiest angel he'd ever seen
C F
Back when Nashville was swingin' and makin' them deals
G G C G
While Buck was out strollin' the streets of Bakersfield
[Chorus]
C F
There ain't no country music for old men
G C G
All of the good ones have died or just packed it in

Now there's posers and losers and would-be outlaws who only know how to pretend

He just walks around wonderin' who's gonna fill their shoes

Lookin' back on the great ones we've lost, he says why so soon?
A D A
He shed an ocean of tears on the graves of Johnny and June
[Chorus]
D G
There ain't no country music for old men
A D A
All of the good ones have died or just packed it in
