Bill Anderson - I wonder if god likes country music

W^Ce were tunin' up to play a gig j^Cust another one night stand I looked over my guitar and there stood an old ^Gman His cowboy ^Cclothes were frayed and worn and his b^C7oots were far from new He said I'd ^Clike to sit in with your band I'm a country singer ^Gtoo Well we^C just had a big laugh And when I l^Cooked back at the old man there was a tear in his eye I told the band to cool it I didn't wanna see him ^Gcry He rea^Cched down and he took my guitar wi^C7th a determined look on his face But as he st^Carted to play and sing a look of sadness took its ^Gplace He said I've s^Cang my songs from M^C7aine to Cali^Ffornia Seen the ^Cworld through the window of a ^Gcar I never saved a d^Cime back when I^F made it I always thought someday I'd be a star But now my voice is ^C7cracked and no one wants ^Fme my wif^Ce gave upon me years Gago It's been so ^Clong my kids don't ^C7even know m^Fe pi^Cckin' and singin' is the ^Gonly life I ^Cknow

I w^Fonder if God likes country m^Cusic will there be a place up there to sing my s^Gongs Will he make my f^Cingers nimble l^C7ike they use^Fd to b^Ce So I can play the c^Ghords and sing al^Cong I just st^Cood there none of us really knew what ^Cto say He took my ^Cguitar and he put it down ever so g^Cently And then as h^Ce started to turn and le^Cave The band s^Ctood up and applauded and I can still he^Car his words today he said I wond^Cer if God likes country m^Cusic...
