Lyrics
That’s How You Live a Country Song Key of Em (capo – 5th fret) Intro – G /Cbass – Moderately Slowly Em C G You pick up a bottle o’ five dollar bourbon Em C G Start dancing with somebody’s girl D F C You take off your wedding ring as she closes the curtains Em C G By mornin’ she’ll think she’s the queen of your world Em C G Bm F But all that bad dancin’ is just low-rent romancin’ C Am B7 You know you’ll regret cause you know that it’s wrong Em C G And that’s how you live a real country song That’s how you live a real country song Em C G Half Bridge Instr. (strum firmly) D – F-C ….Em – C – G (Bridge) staccato Am C You call up the wife, say you just did some thinkin’ Em D Walk out and leave with her with nothing but tears Am (modulate vocal up) C Call up your buddies, and just end up drinkin’ Em D She never knew how you felt all these years F -- F dim. All these years…. Verse -(muted strum) softly - You’re out on your own, and you feel like dyin’ You get in your truck and you drive ‘round all night You don’t understand….how she knew you were lyin’ But you know it’s your heart that just lost it’s fight Bm (barre) F So how do you wake up, go back to make up C C –3rd fret Bm Or do you sit in some church and pretend you belong And now, boy, you’re livin’ a real country song. Yeah, you’re living a real country song. Em C (shift – D) F You could ask your pastor, but whisky is faster C Bm and he always said you were way too headstrong And now you’re livin’ a real country song, yeah. That’s how you live…a real country song. And now you’re livin’ a real country song. (Picked ‘F’ to ‘C’ then ‘G’ – End)
