Music, [E] and I want you to listen close to what it [B] says.
Goes like [E] this.
One night not too many years ago,
the band and I were on tour,
and we were in a little auditorium,
tuning up, getting ready to play a show.
At the time, it really wasn't anything special.
It was what you might call just another one night stand.
When I looked over my guitar,
and there stood an [B] old man.
[E] His cowboy clothes [B] were frayed and worn,
[A] and his boots were far [E] from new.
He said, I'd like to sit in with your band.
[B] You see, [E] I'm a country singer too.
Well, we [B] just all had a big laugh.
[A]
And when I looked back at the old [E] man,
there was a tear in his eye.
I told the band to cool it,
because I didn't want to see him cry.
[B] [E] He reached down, and he took [B] my guitar
[A] with a determined look on his face.
[E]
And then he started to play and sing,
[B] and a look of sadness [E] took its place.
He said, I've sang my songs from Maine to California.
[B]
[B] [E] Seen the world through the window of a car.
[B]
[E] I never saved a dime back when I made it.
I always thought [B] someday I'd [E] be a star.
But now my voice is cracked, and no one wants me.
My wife gave up on me [B] years ago.
[C#] [E] It's been so long, the kids don't even know me.
And picking and singing [B] is the only life I [E]
know.
And then he said, [A] I wonder if God likes the country [E] music.
Will there be a [A] place up [E] there to sing my [B] song?
Will [E] he make my fingers nimble like they used to be?
So I can play the [B] chord and [E] sing along.
[A] I wonder if country [E] music.
I just stood there.
Will there be a [A] place up there [E] to sing my song?
None of us really knew [B] just what to say.
[A] [G#m]
[F#m] [E] Will he make my fingers nimble like they used to be?
He took my old guitar, and he put it down for a song.
And then as he turned to leave, the band stood up and applauded.
[B] And I can [E] still hear his words today.
He said, [A] I wonder if [E] country music.
