---(capo 2nd fret)---
(verse 1)
E
If I was a running this country,
A E
I'd start it over from scratch,
E
Keep what's good pile up what's bad,
B
And then I'd strike the match,
E
Yeah we go back to the basics,
A
Of how things ought to be,
E
Yeah there'd be a line of changes,
B E
If it was left up to me,
E
Cause what this country needs,
A E
Is a little more steel guitar,
E
And put a little fiddle right in the middle,
F# B
Straight out of a Texas bar,
E
And give us a song we can all sing along,
A
From sea to shining sea,
Yeah be proud of it and always love it,
B E
That's what this country needs,
(verse 2)
E
Now if you want to hear about living
A E
Just twist that radio dial
E B
You come to a singer singing what life's all about
E
But you can't deny that people still cry
A
They laugh and they smile and they hurt

E
That's my humble opinion y'all
B E
you can take it for what it's worth
E
Cause what this country needs,
A E
Is a little more steel guitar,
E
And put a little fiddle right in the middle,
F# B
Straight out of a Texas bar,
E
And give us a song we can all sing along,
A
From sea to shining sea,
Yeah be proud of it and always love it,
B E
That's what this country needs,
(Bridie)
A
Yeah turn it on up and let it ring out
E
Across the land of the free
F#
They ought to build a statue to Hank Williams Sr,
B
And watch it change the scenery,
E
Cause what this country needs,
A E
Is a little more steel guitar
E
Yea put a sawing fiddle right square in the middle,
F# B
Straight out of a Texas bar,
E
And y'all give us a song that we all can sing,
A
From sea to shining sea,
E
Yeah be proud of it and always love it,
B E
That's what this country needs,
