Bill Anderson – I Wonder If God Likes Country Music (Guitar)

 C                                C
We were tunin' up to play a gig, just another one night stand

                                               G
I looked over my guitar and there stood an old man

           C                                     C7
His cowboy clothes were frayed and worn and his boots were far from new

            C                                                   G
He said I'd like to sit in with your band, I'm a country singer too

        C
Well, we just had a big laugh

            C
And when I looked back at the old man there was a tear in his eye

                                                   G
I told the band to cool it, I didn't wanna see him cry

      C                                 C7
He reached down and he took my guitar with a determined look on his face

            C                                                 G
But as he started to play and sing a look of sadness took its place

              C                  C7          F
He said I've sang my songs from Maine to California

         C                             G
Seen the world through the window of a car

                 C              F
I never saved a dime back when I made it, I always thought someday I'd be a star

                    C7                  F            C                        G
But now my voice is cracked and no one wants me, my wife gave up on me years ago

             C                  C7         F   C                        G           C
It's been so long my kids don't even know me pickin' and singin' is the only life I know

   F                           C                                                G
I wonder if God likes country music, will there be a place up there to sing my songs

                 C              C7          F     C
Will he make my fingers nimble like they used to be

                   G                C
So I can play the chords and sing along

         C                                      C
I just stood there, none of us really knew what to say

           C                                  C
He took my guitar and he put it down ever so gently

             C                       C
And then as he started to turn and leave

          C                                       C
The band stood up and applauded and I can still hear his words today, he said

      C                        C
I wonder if God likes country music...
