Very Last Country Song

Intro: G, C, G

 G            C
Today is my Birthday
   G          C
And all that I want
        C              Em               D        C
Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my kitchen

Till the daylight's gone

     G             C
This one here's my mama
G                    C
With the long, brown hair
    C           Em       D           C
I'm forty years older today than she was in that picture there

       C
But if life stayed they way it was
    G
And lovers never fell out of love
   D
If memories didn't last so long
   G
If nobody did nobody wrong
      C
If we knew what we had before it was gone
   Em         D        C
If every road led back home
           C
This would be
    D                 G
The very last country song

G, C, G

G                C
These are all my babies
G                    C
Lord knows how we survived
    C             Em           D          C
The first one was hard and the last was unplanned

What a big surprise
                    G
That's him with his daddy's eyes

G                 C
I love the man in this one
     G                  C
It's faded, but I don't care
          C             Em          D                      C
There are nights when I wake up and know he's beside me, I swear
                  G
Sometimes I still feel him there

       C
But if life stayed the way it was
    G
And lovers never fell out of love
   D
If memories didn't last so long
   G
If nobody did nobody wrong
      C
If we knew what we had before it was gone
   Em         D        C
If every road led back home
           C
This would be
    D                 G
The very last country song

      C
If we knew what we had before it was gone
     Em       D        C
If every road led back home
           C
This would be
    D                 G
The very last country song
