C                           G             C
Tom T Hall is forty now and so is Bobby Bare

         C                         G                C
Willie Nelson's gettin' grey and Faron Young don't care

          F                               C
But the young ones keep on coming on the old are slow to go

                          G                C
Let there be country and let the country grow

                F                         C
Let there be country let the music roll along

                G                           C
Let there be country and let me share the song

No one picks like Bill Monroe and don't George Jones sing great

       C                                G            C
I can tell that the people care by the people at my gate

       F                                 C
Webb Pierce invites the tourists in and Ray keeps them away

                          G               C
Let there be country and let the country play

                F                         C
Let there be country let the music roll along

                G                          C
Let there be country and let me share the song

C                                       G                 C
Ernest Tubb's got all of the soul he's had for all these years

                                   G            C
Porter Wagoner's recitation still bring me to tears

     F                                             C
And when they do play Kitty Wells you know she's still the Queen

                          G                C
Let there be country and keep the country green

                F                        C
Let there be country let the music roll along

                 G                         C
Let there be country and let me share the song

C                                           G          C
Little Jimmy Dickens still sends shivers through the crowd

                                       G                       C
Mother Maybelle whispers now but the heart comes through real loud

       F                                      C
Gene Autry don't sing no more good old Tex Ritter's gone

       C                             G
And somewhere downtown Nashville a young man just got off the bus

         C                     G              C
With a guitar in his hands a pocket full of songs

   C                    G            C
A lot of talent and a heart full of hope

           G                             C
And he's gonna be the next big country star and the country wheels roll on
