My Life's Been A Country Song(Chords)

	        
 



      D        A     Bm      G             
Now I know how Merle Haggard felt  
        D               A   Bm     G 
when he sang the words mama tried 
         D           A       Bm     G 
And I've lived those teenage Friday nights  
       D          A           Bm       G 
With a pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight  
        D       A     Bm       G 
And that summer Becky broke my heart 
   D         A         Bm      G 
Alabama sang old flame burnin'  

Well I've danced with George Strait 
A 
Drank with George Jones 
   G             A       D 
My life's been a country song 



               Bm               G 
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up  
D                   A 
Your good times and hard luck  
Bm            G 
True love and amazing grace 
D                      A 
Workin' all week for a back ache 
Bm              G 
  Raisin' cane, Friday nights,  
D                A 
Sunday church to set it right 
         G        A     Bm 
They can write it on my stone,  
   G             A       D 
My life's been a country song 





      D        A        Bm    
Now I know how Paycheck felt  
        G        D                    A       Bm      G 
When he told his boss he can take his job and shove it 
         D       A         Bm      G 
And I've had the girl that made me say 
   D          A          Bm             G 
'I like it, I love it, I want some more of it' 
        D     A     Bm        G         D 
And I'll always remember just where I was  
         A             Bm      G 
When the world stopped turnin' 

Through the good and the bad, 
    A 
The right and the wrong 
   G             A       D 
My life's been a country song 



               Bm               G 
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up  
D                   A 
Your good times and hard luck  
Bm            G 
True love and amazing grace 
D                      A 
Workin' all week for a back ache 
Bm              G 
  Raisin' cane, Friday nights,  
D                A 
Sunday church to set it right 
         G        A     Bm 
They can write it on my stone,  
   G             A       D 
My life's been a country song 




Bridge:
 
A             G            D/F#           A 
It's been the words when I couldn't find 'em 
A  G               D/F#  A 
A friend when I've been alone  
 A            G        D/F#         A          E 
It's been the toast to things remembered, the strength for movin on 



 
              Bm               G 
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up  
D                   A 
Your good times and hard luck  
Bm            G 
True love and amazing grace 
D                      A 
Workin' all week for a back ache 
Bm              G 
  Raisin' cane, Friday nights,  
D                A 
Sunday church to set it right 
         G        A     Bm 
They can write it on my stone,  
   G             A       D 
My life's been a country song 

Bm G D A 

      G           A         D 
Oh my life's been a country song
