Chords for Bill Anderson & Brad Paisley - Too Country

_ _ _ Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
I came to Nashville to be a songwriter.
I wanted to
write songs for other people to record and I like to write just plain old
three-chord hurtin' country songs.
But I found as the years went by, I would write
songs like that and take them to some of the young artists and the young
producers and they would say to me, well I like your song but I can't record it.
And I would say, why can't you record it?
And they would say, because it's too
country. _
_ And I didn't understand that at all and I still don't.
So I wrote a song
about it. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Two [F] country. _ _ _
What's that?
_ _ [G] Is it like [Gm] two Republican or [Eb] two Democrat?
_ _ [Bb] Is
it too far to the left?
_ Too far to the right? _ _
[Gm] Too straight down the middle?
_ [Eb] Is it
too black or too [Bb] white?
_ _ Are [F] the biscuits too fluffy?
Is the chicken too fried?
Is the
gravy too thick?
[Ebm] Are the peas too black-eyed?
Is the iced [F] tea too sweet?
Does
it [F] have too much tang?
[Gm] Are there too many lemons [Eb] in mama's lemon meringue?
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Two
country.
_ [F] _ Well now what's that?
_ _ [G] Is it like [Gm] too many pearls of wisdom [Eb] under grandpa's
old hat?
_ [Bb] Is it just too [F] old-fashioned?
_ Is it just too antique? _ _
[Gm] Is the question too
strong?
[Eb] _ Is the answer too weak?
[Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] Are the roses too red?
[G] Is the sunshine too bright?
Are [F] there
too many stars [Eb] in the heavens at night?
Are there [F] too many fish that jump [F] in the stream?
[G] Is the blue sky too [Gm] blue?
[Eb] Is the clean air too clean?
_ [F] _ _ _ _
Is the grace too amazing?
Is [F] the
steeple too tall?
Are there too many yes sirs, [Eb] yes ma'ams in Har Yow? _ _
_ _ _ Is the [Bbm] message too
real?
Too close to the bone?
Do [Gm] the fiddle and steel _ [Eb] remind you too much of home?
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Is
honest and [F] true just not in demand?
_ _ [Gm] Two country. _ _ _
[Eb] _ Two country?
_ [Bb] _ _
Two country.
_ [F] _ I don't understand.
_ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ Neither do [F] I son.
