The Last Country Song (featuring Jon Anderson and George Jones)



INTRO: E  D  A
       A  E  D
       A  E  D

        A              E                    D
There a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop
      A                     E                  D
Where all the folks come to hear country music play
A                  E                      D
And every year the city's gettin' closer, Lord knows it won't stop
A                          E               D
And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today, yeah he said


CHORUS:
A             E            F#m           D
This land was our land but Lord now it's their land
    A           E                 D
And we're still here, but not for long
A                E            F#m          D
So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones
     A              E            D
'Til we've sung the last country song


There's 300 acres of cotton corn and a little bit of gravel
All bought up by a builder from downtown
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin and the walls start to rattle
A big bulldozer's gonna take Hank's roadhouse down, so everybody sing


CHORUS


BRIDGE:
E                                      D
Will we play "Swingin'" or "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
     Bm            E               D
It's really sad to see it end this way


CHORUS

     A              E            D
'Til we've sung the last country song
   A              E            D
Oh we've sung the last country song
   A              E            D     A
Oh we've sung the last country song
