Chords

[Intro] D C G D [Verse 1]
          D           C
There's a warm wind a-blowin'

      G                    D
And a burnin' sun droppin' down

       D                   C
At the end of time I'll be rockin'

     G                                              D
In a wooden chair like I'm still starin' at a crowd

            D                           C
'Cause this road I've traveled has been long and full of heartache

        G                                     D
But the heartache's gone when nobody's around

          D                                   C
When them Hollywood lights all go dim and California looks like a dead town

G                      D
You know where I'll be found
[Chorus]
                  D
Yeah, I'll be the ghost on a hilltop overlookin' plains

         C
With the coal smoke steady rollin' off of that train

       G                                  D
And my songs will always live down in the country (Country)

           D
Where that young boy livin' for a Friday night

         C
Plays an old lost song through the radio dial

         G                               D
When the words from the past speak up so loud (Speak up so loud)

      D                                              C
Yeah, that's the voice, that's the voice, that's the voice

    G                          D
The voice from a legend in the south (In the south)
[Verse 2]
         D
When I'm fifty years old I'll be on my back porch

        C
Smokin' me a fuckin' stogie about the size of a torch

        G
Gettin' pulled to rock music that's vibratin' the place

        D
Til the neighbors call the police on my dirty white ass

        D
Yeah, I figured you thought this was the talkin' blues

           C
Yeah, it's talkin' blues just in my shit-kick boots

          G
I like to say stuff like 'fuck you' and some more

               D
That's why you won't find my album at a Walmart store
[Verse 3]
              D
Yeah, I'm the white horse that won't let nobody ride

          C
No saddle for my back for the next half ass guy

       G
Nobody yankin' my reins or stoppin' the go

         D
I gallop with hooves courted in forty-niner gold

              D
Yeah, I'm the cheap ugly mutt that's faster, Than the million dollar quarter

C
Horse and there ain't no catchin' me, it's a no go

     G
I so grown into bein' the old soul so this soul goes

        D
And the time ain't fadin' not none of my fuckin' vocals
[Chorus]
            D
I'll be the ghost on a hilltop overlookin' plains

         C
With the coal smoke steady rollin' off of that train

       G                                  D
And my songs will always live down in the country

           D
Where that young boy livin' for a Friday night

         C
Plays an old lost song through the radio dial

         G                               D
When the words from the past speak up so loud

      D                                              C
Yeah, that's the voice, that's the voice, that's the voice

    G                          D
The voice from a legend in the south
[Bridge]
         D
Well I'm obsessed with trucks and cars way too loud

     C
Dump women if they don't like country sounds

     G
Like Elvis, Johnny Cash, and a little bit of

       D
Waylon Jennings (You know that's true)

        D
I still sip well water right out of the hose

      C
Smoke so much weed that my eyes are closed

        G
I write songs fucked up like I'm kin to old

       D
George Jones (Old George Jones)

      D
Yeah, most the time I'm higher than a kite

       C
And my arms are wings and I'm takin' flight

          G
And don't plan on stoppin' 'til I run outta

       D
Gas or crash (That'd be bad)

         D
Yeah, my tattoos look like absolute shit

       C
And my teeth are crooked as a crackhead's chin

       G
But my knuckles still feel like a boat

           D
Built Ford Tough (For me it's enough)
[Chorus]
                  D
Yeah, I'll be the ghost on a hilltop overlookin' plains

         C
With the coal smoke steady rollin' off of that train

       G                                  D
And my songs will always live down in the country

           D
Where that young boy livin' for a Friday night

Plays an old lost song through the radio dial

         G                               D
When the words from the past speak up so loud

      D                                              C
Yeah, that's the voice, that's the voice, that's the voice

The voice from a legend in the south
