Chords for Aaron Lewis - That Ain't Country (Acoustic) // The Bluestone Sessions

[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] What a sad state of affairs I'm in,
because [D#m] I'm trying to compete where I just don't fit in.
[F#] Because a country, if you call it that from off the road,
[C#] ain't country, trust me, because I'm old enough to know [F#] that.
[B] _
[F#] _ That ain't country. _ _ _
That's a natural fact.
It's full [B] of tales of good [F#] times and happy endings.
[C#]
My life ain't like that.
_ So [B] I'll keep [F#] listening to the old songs
that my granddad used to play.
_ Full [B] of pain and [F#] heartache and desperation.
And [C#] the ones that got away, _ _ [F#] the ones that speak [B] to me,
[C#] the way I [F#] feel today.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ So [F#] tell me, whatever happened to the country's songs?
Full of [D#m] truth and consequences, all the things [F#] gone wrong.
Someone came and changed it up, made it all a [C#] lie.
Like to spit a little, bitch, not writing that dude's [F#] eye
[B] because that [F#] ain't country. _ _
That's a natural fact.
It's full of [B] tales of good [F#] times and happy endings.
[C#]
My life ain't like that.
[C#m] So [B] I'll keep [F#] listening to the old songs
that my granddad used to play.
_ Full of pain and heartache and desperation.
And [C#] the ones that got away, _ _ [C#m] the ones [B] that speak to me,
[C#] the way I feel [F#] today.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] Now listen here.
_ _ _ We [F#] got Waylon singing songs about a rambling man.
[D#m] And Junior's got a cold one in his hand.
[F#] The possum's getting drunk again, imagine that.
[C#] And Charlie Daniels playing fiddle underneath that [F#] hat.
And John and June are going back and forth again.
[D#m] And David Ellen Coe is singing about his kid.
_ [B] Haggard [F#] sings the songs that'll save your soul.
[C#] And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole.
[B] Because [F#] that shit's country.
_ _ That's a natural fact.
It's full of [B] tales of hard [F#] times and _ complications.
[C#] _ Ain't life like that?
_ So I'll [B] keep listening [F#] to the old songs
that [B] my granddad [F#] used to play.
_ [B] Full of pain and [F#] heartache and _ desperation.
And [C#] the ones that got away, _ _ [F#] the ones that speak to me,
[C#] the way I feel [D#m] today. _ _ _ _
[F#] The [B] ones that speak to me, [C#] the way I feel [F#] today. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And I'll keep listening to the old songs
And the ones that speak to me, the way I feel today.
And the ones that speak to me, the way I feel today.
