Chords for George Jones and Friends Hot Country Jam '94

It was a chance to get good friends together to make [A] some music.
So we've invited a few friends over [Em] tonight.
Hello folks, I'm Richard Young, the Kentucky Headhunter. _ _
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ I'm Joe Diffie. _ _
_ And I'm Michelle [A] Wright.
_ _ I'm Mark O'Connor.
[B] _ I'm Jeff Cook with the group Alabama.
[E] _
We [A] wanted to have a jam with some of the different styles of country music [D] tonight.
From traditional to [Eb] new country.
George [A] Jones, since you've [E] been picking and singing longer than anybody [Am] around on this stage,
I want to borrow a few of your songs for the next [A] few minutes.
Start with the kind of song that made country music just hot.
A little rowdy honky [Gbm]-tonk music. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ Well, he's _ _ _ _ clapping and he's handing me songs.
He blew white light until the sun went down.
Then he filled him a jug and he'd pass it around.
[E] _ Pleasing pappas, go on, [A] squeeze them, go.
[Em] Ooh, white [A] light.
_ _ [D] Well, team and team and revolution, [A] _ we've made it [E] through.
Keep on looking, [D] happy getting [A] my governor.
_ _ [E] Ooh, white light.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Always been an important part of country [E] music.
Here's a classic that I recorded years after it first became a hit. _ _ _
_ [A] _ Imagine a _ _ [D] woman _ [A] who's friendly. _ _
And think of a church with nobody [E] praying.
_ _ _ [A] Have you ever looked up at [D] a sky with [A] no moon?
_ You've seen a picture [E] of me without [A] you. _ _
_ [Bm] _ [D] And you've been to heaven [A] with no angel singer.
Or what Sunday morning with no church [E] bells ringing.
_ _ [A] If you've lost the heart of [D] a child reaching [A] to you.
If you've seen a picture [E] of me without you.
_ [B] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ And if we're talking traditional country,
how about the number one selling country song of all times?
He said I love you.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ She told him you [C] were getting tired. _ _ _
I watched the years pass [D] slowly by.
And _ she still prayed [G] upon his mind. _
He kept her picture _ on the wall.
_ _ Went half crazy [C] down the road.
_ _ He still loved you [D] through his whole heart.
_ _ Hoping she'd come [G] back again.
_ _ _ He stopped loving her today.
_ _ Made a place to reap upon [C] his door. _ _ _
Soon they'll carry [D] him away. _
But he stopped loving [G] her today. _
[D] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ Oh man.
And as for new country,
[G] the recording of this song was the Country Music Association's
top vocal event of last year.
I _ _ _ [C] can't _ _
_ _ _ [G] hear. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ His straight hair don't [G] mean a thing.
_ _ My rocket won't [C]
stay.
My rocket won't stay.
The bar [G] don't let him keep. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ He don't want to stay.
[Gm] He don't want [G] to stay.
You _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ know after years of fighting for respect,
country music does not have to take a back seat to anybody anymore. _ _ _
I might say when it comes to competing for popularity with other forms of music,
Halstead Race is definitely on.
I can't hear.
[Em] I'm calling deep [D] inside. _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [A] _ The day that I was taking it hard.
[D] She wrote me off.
[A] Don't you wait for that Ohio sorrow.
[E] I'll be right down. _
[A] _ The race is on and here comes pride at the [D] back straight.
Heartaches are going [A] to the inside.
My tears are holding back.
[B] They're trying not [E] to fall.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] The race is on _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] and.
[A] The day that I was taking it hard.
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] The race [A] is on and here comes pride [D] at the back straight.
Heartaches are going to [A] the inside.
My tears are holding [B] back.
They're trying not to fall.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [N] _
