Drop D Tuning

I [D]got my first guitar when [C]I turned 1[D]3
Daddy said [D]here ya go son, now [C]you can play like [A]me
I [D]got that honkytonk fever deep [C]down in my [D]bones
[D]From that old maple guitar and a [C]good country [D]song

I remember the dry heat and the Mojave sand
Just me and that guitar and some old marine friends
And about the only thing that got us through 29 Palms
Was an old maple guitar and some good country songs

Chorus:
Lord that [G]old maple guitar gots wood [D]grains of gold
And that [A]good country music just [G]pours from your [D]soul
And it'll [G]echo in the air way till [D]god calls us [G]home
With an [D]old maple guitar and a [C]good country [D]song


"Take it up boys" Change key to E

I was [E]stranded in Birmingham and [D]down on my [E]luck
Cause my [E]wife took my money and then a [D]bank took my [B]truck
Oh but theres [E]two things I still have that they [D]better leave a[E]lone

Thats that old maple guitar and these good country songs

Chorus:
Lord that [A]old maple guitar gots [E]wood grains of gold
And that [B]good country music it just [D]pours out from the [E]soul
And it'll [A]echo in the air way till [E]god calls me [A]home
With an [E]old maple guitar and a [D]good country [E]song

And a good ole Hank Williams country song
