Very Last Country Song

Sugarland

Text File

This song isn't too complicated to play, but it's so heartfelt and wonderful :)
I think the feeling is more important than the actual accuracy of your picking 
pattern in this song.
However, you can listen to the song to pick it up easily, or you can incorporate 
your own style, and it will still sound good.
I've played this along with the album, and it all sounded right to me.

Capo 5

Intro: G, C, G

 G            C
Today is my Birthday
   G          C
And all that I want
        C              Em               D        C
Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my kitchen
                      
Till the daylight's gone

     G             C
This one here's my mama
G                    C
With the long, brown hair
    C           Em       D           C
I'm forty years older today than she was in that picture there

       C
But if life stayed they way it was
    G
And lovers never fell out of love
   D
If memories didn't last so long
   G
If nobody did nobody wrong
      C
If we knew what we had before it was gone
   Em         D        C
If every road led back home
           C
This would be
    D                 G
The very last country song

G, C, G

G                C
These are all my babies
G                    C
Lord knows how we survived
    C             Em           D          C
The first one was hard and the last was unplanned

What a big surprise
                    G
That's him with his daddy's eyes

G                 C
I love the man in this one
     G                  C
It's faded, but I don't care
          C             Em          D                      C
There are nights when I wake up and know he's beside me, I swear
                  G
Sometimes I still feel him there

       C
But if life stayed the way it was
    G
And lovers never fell out of love
   D
If memories didn't last so long
   G
If nobody did nobody wrong
      C
If we knew what we had before it was gone
   Em         D        C
If every road led back home
           C
This would be
    D                 G
The very last country song

      C
If we knew what we had before it was gone
     Em       D        C
If every road led back home
           C                 
This would be
    D                 G
The very last country song
