[Intro]
      G                    G7             C
I was there the night they killed country music
G D D7 G [Verse 1]
          G                G7
Well, the bull was buckin' hard

        C              G
And the scene was so bizarre

                                  D7
As a busload of tourists wandered in

       G            G7
They'd never seen a wrench

    C                  G
And most of them spoke French

                       D7                G
And they all got up to see if they could dance
[Verse 2]
    G               G7
And up there on the stage

  C                   G
A band called Prairie Sage

                                 D7
Was tryin' to keep the old ways alive

        G                     G7
But the urbans, they wouldn't listen

                  C                 G
Well, they bought t-shirts and went pissin'

                       D7             G
Off all the locals for comin' to this dive
[Chorus]
          C                    G7             C
And I was there the night they killed country music

      G                                  D7
I was sittin' on a barstool cryin' in my beer

      G                    G7             C
I was there the night they killed country music

       G                D7         D          G
In one evenin', they destroyed the last fifty years
[Instrumental] G G7 C G D D7 G [Verse 3]
           G               G7
Well, they all wore Calvin Kleins

    C                 G
The hub there, tied behind

                                 D7
The little golden coxcomb on the chain

     G                G7
As I sat there on the back row

C                  G
Tryin' to hear the dobro

                D7            G
I swear I heard one old-timer sang   (Hear him sang!
[Chorus]
      C                    G7  N.C.       C
I was there the night they killed country music

      G                                  D7
I was sittin' on a barstool cryin' in my beer

      G                    G7             C
I was there the night they killed country music

       G                D7         D          G
In one evenin', they destroyed the last fifty years
[Outro]
       G N.C.            D7 N.C.   D          G
In one evenin', they destroyed the last fifty years
