C Am7 G F
VERSE:
C Am7
The music on my father's stereo every Saturday
G F
Was back when steel and fiddle had their time to interplay
C Am7
It was my first drive in that old car, killed the battery,
G F
Listening till the sun came up on a summer nights dream
C Am7
Songs for the working class, and those looking for love,
G F F
They took you to a place deep inside or up above
CHORUS:
Am F
I don't hear 'em on my FM radio
Am G F
I don't know why they all had to go
Am G F
My father would call it a shame
G C Am7 G F
The country doesn't sound the same
VERSE:
C Am7
There's a hardhat crew laying tar up by the gate
G
They don't care whose land they carve,
F
As long as their checks aren't late
C Am7
Tax bond brought the highway and a 100 mobile homes
G F
They're clearing space every day for commercial zones
CHORUS:
Am G F
I can hear it out the kitchen window
Am G F
The farm ain't the quiet place I used to know
Am G F
Everybody's headed west to stake their claim
G Am7
The country doesn't sound the same
BREAK:
G
Times are always changing
C
Are the good Times gone?
G
No more open sky above me
Am7
No more soul left in a song
G F
I know it don't do no good to complain
G Am7 G F F
The country doesn't sound the same
VERSE:
C Am7
I fear we're living in the strangest of times
G F
Where no matter where you stand you're always on opposing sides
C Am7
As the noise runs around the clock and no one can cut through
G
I don't know when it will end
F
I don't know what we can do
CHORUS:
Am G F
I lie awake at night and wonder how
Am G F
I don't know what to think of us now
Am G F
It doesn't do no good in laying blame
G C Am7 G F
The country doesn't sound the same
OUTRO:
