Old Songs Like That Tribute To Merle Haggard

    D                                    G
Chiseled in stone still chokes me up sometime.
Am                                                         D
He stopped lovin' her today brings a tear to a grown mans eye.
 D                                                              G
Take this job and shove it makes me smile when i've had a hard day.
 Am                             G     Am           D
Sure seems like those old cats knew, just what to say.

                  G                        D
I miss heart and soul, and a petal steal guitar.
               Am                     D
Three quarter time, and a honky tonk bar.
              G                         D
They say its gone, and it ain't comin' back.
                        Am   G                      D
They can say what they want, I miss old songs like that.

   D                                            G
Haggard and Hank, They always lived what they wrote.
 Am                                                              D
You believe what they sang, and you can feel it in every single note.
D                                                          G
I don't mind the new stuff, but truth is, that's not who i am.
Am                                       G    D
I'm a picker, a singer, a natural born blues man.


                  G                        D
I miss heart and soul, and a petal steal guitar.
               Am                     D
Three quarter time, and a honky tonk bar.
              G                         D
They say its gone, and it ain't comin' back.
                        Am                       G
They can say what they want, but the cold hard fact...
       Am              D
I miss old songs like that.
