  D5                        C5         D5
I got my first guitar when I turned 13
           D5                   C5                 A5
Daddy said here ya go son, now you can play like me
  D5                             C5          D5
I got that honkytonk fever deep down in my bones
D5                                C5            D5 
From that old maple guitar and a good country song


I remember the dry heat and the Mojave sand
Just me and that guitar and some old marine friends
And about the only thing that got us through 29 Palms
Was an old maple guitar and some good country songs


Chorus:
          G5                          D5
Lord that old maple guitar gots wood grains of gold
         A5                       G5               D5 
And that good country music just pours from your soul
          G5                        D5            G5 
And it'll echo in the air way till god calls us home
        D5                      C5            D5
With an old maple guitar and a good country song



"Take it up boys"   Change key to E

      E5                          D5          E5
I was stranded in Birmingham and down on my luck
         E5                             D5            B5
Cause my wife took my money and then a bank took my truck
              E5                                 D5             E5
Oh but theres two things I still have that they better leave alone

Thats that old maple guitar and these good country songs


Chorus:
          A5                     E5            
Lord that old maple guitar gots wood grains of gold
         B5                          D5                  E5 
And that good country music it just pours out from the soul
          A5                        E5            A5
And it'll echo in the air way till god calls me home
        E5                      D5            E5
With an old maple guitar and a good country song


And a good ole Hank Williams country song
