Don Walser - Country Gold guitar chord

INTRO: (Spoken)

If we don't keep the old Country music alive, it's gonna die!

You let the roots die on a big old tree and the whole tree's gone!

This is an old song I wrote, called: Country Gold.

1. (G) Well, I wonder what happened to the good old Country Gold

Has Country music really lost (D) its soul

Well, (G) I don't mind Rhythm and Blues

And I (C) still like Rock and Roll

But I (G) sure need some (D) good old Country (G) Gold.

2. (G) Oh! they tell me Country music's moved to town

What we're hearin' is a more progress-(D) ive sound

But (G) there's a few million of us

Who sorta (C) feel left out in the cold

'Cause (G) we still like that (D) good old Country (G) Gold.

3. (G) Well, if you listen to your radio all day long

All you hear is the same 15 or (D) 20 songs

And if (G) you're past 35, you're (C) considered to be too old

Well, (G) I wonder what happened to the (D) good old Country (G) Gold?

4. Oh! tell me what happened to the good old Country Gold

Has Country music really lost its soul

What I'm hearin' today sounds a lot like Rock and Roll

Well, I wonder what happened to the good old Country Gold.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

REPEAT VERSE 3.

5. Oh! you never hear the good instrumental tunes

Breakdown fiddles and cryin' steels are gone

You gotta drive a 100 miles, if you wanta see a Bluegrass show

'Cause you won't find Bluegrass on your radio.

6. Now if Hank and Lefty were around today

I wonder if they would get an-y air play

Like Er-nest and Roy, Bob Wills or Bill Monroe

They've just stopped playin' that good old Country Gold.

REPEAT VERSE 1.

TAG: Oh! Tell me what happened to the good old Country Gold.
