Whos Gonna Fill Their Shoes
George Jones
Capo 2nd Fret
(G) This whole world's full of singers
(Bm) But, only a few were chosen
(C) To tear your heart out, when the (G) sing (D)
(G) Imagine life without 'em
(Bm) All your radio heros
Like the (C) 'Outlaw' that (D) walks through Jessie's (G) dreams
No, they'll never be another
(Bm) Red headed stranger
A (C) Man In Black, in 'Folsom Prison (G) Blues' (D)
The (G) Okie from Muskogee
(Bm) Or, 'Hello Darlin'
(C) Lord, I wonder - (D) who's gonna fill their (G) shoes
(G) Who's gonna fill their shoes
(C) Who's gonna stand that (G) tall
(D) Who's gonna play the Opry
And the (G) 'Wallbash Cannonball'
Who's gonna give their (Bm) heart and soul
To (C) get to me and you
Lord, I (G) wonder
(D) Who's gonna fill their (G) shoes
(Key Change)
God (G#) bless the boys from Memphis
(Cm) 'Blue Suede Shoes' and Elvis
(C#) Much too soon they left this world in (G#) tears (D#)
(G#) They tore up the 50's
Old (Cm) Jerry Lee and Charlie
And (C#) 'Go Cat Go', still (D#) echos through the (G#) years
(Key Change)
(A) You know the heart of country music
(C#m) Still beats in Luke the Drifter
You can (D) tell it when he sings 'I Saw The (A) Light' (E)
(A) Marty, Hank and Lefty
(C#m) I can feel them here with me
On this (D) Silver Eagle, (E) rolling through the (A) night
(A) Who's gonna fill their shoes
(D) Who's gonna stand that (A) tall
(E) Who's gonna play the Opry
And the (A) Wallbash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their (C#m) heart and soul
To (D)get to me and you
Lord, I (A) wonder
(E) Who's gonna fill their (A) shoes
yes, I (A) wonder
(E) Who's gonna fill their (D) shoes (A)
