Key D no capo [Intro] G D A D [Verse 1]
D
He used to play the Opry

     G
When he was on a roll

                       D
The rhinestones he was flashing

                        A
Have all but lost their glow

         D
That old guitar he was wearing

                         G
Was the only friend he'd known

                         D
He could sure sing a sad country song

          A         D
With that old Silvertone
[Verse 2]
                     G
An astray for tips a barstool for a stage

                     D
He'd stay there till closing time

                   A
And play the pain away

         D
That old guitar in the corner

                         G
Was the only friend he'd known

                         D
He could sure sing a sad country song

          A         D
With that old Silvertone
[Solo] G D A D [Verse 3]
D
I stopped in that little bar

   G
To try and catch his show

                       D
But he'd moved on to a bigger stage

             A
Little did I know

                D
I'd say there's just not one dry eye

                 G
In Canaan land tonight

                             D
Cause the way he'd play that Silvertone

      A             D
Would make an angel cry
[Verse 4]
                      G
A beer mug for tips a barstool for a stage

                     D
He'd play there till closing time

                    A
and sing the blues away

      D
For a tip and a shot of whiskey

                    G
He'd put you on the show

                         D
He could sure sing a sad country song

          A         D
With that old Silvertone
[Outro]
      G                        D
Yeah, he could sure sing a sad country song

          A         D
with that old Silvertone
