Long Live Country Music Chords

[Intro]
G C G C
 
[Verse 1]
          G                   C
Long live Patsy Cline, "Strawberry Wine"
       G                 C
Fiddles and a steel guitar
          G                 C
Long live needle drops in a jukebox
     G                     C
In a hole-in-the-wall dive bar
          D
Long live late-night drives in a short-bed Chevy
Em
Holdin' that pretty girl close
C
Listenin' to the radio
 
[Chorus]
G    C            G    C
Long live country music
             G                   C             D     C
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
    G    C            G    C
Oh, long live country music
         Em                    D                 C
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
         G C G C
Never die
 
[Verse 2]
          G             C
Long live rodeos, dusty boot soles
    G                      C
Two-steppin' on a hardwood floor
              G                       C
Long live the cover band rollin' in a white van
G                    C
Kickin' off swingin' doors
               D
Here's to that teenage kid learnin' B&D songs
      Em
On an old pawn shop six-string
       C
With a head full of honky tonk dreams
 
[Chorus]
G    C            G    C
Long live country music
             G                   C             D     C
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
    G    C            G    C
Oh, long live country music
         Em                    D                 C
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
         G
Never die
 
[Instrumental]
C G C Em D C
 
[Bridge]
              D
Here's to the troubadours that tip their hats
       C
To the Hanks that came before them
         D                         C
May that Grand Ole Opry circle be unbroken
 
[Chorus]
G    C            G    C
Long live country music
             G               C             D     C
Long live cowboys, cowgirls, neon Saturday nights
    G    C            G    C
Oh, long live country music
         Em                    D                 C
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
         G
Never die
