I wonder if god likes country   Bill Anderson

wonder if god likes country}
{st:Bill Anderson}

(C) We were out on tour, getting (C7) ready to  do a (F) show
It wasn't anything special, (C) just another one night stand
When I looked over my guitar there stood an old (G) man
His (C) clothes were fraid and worn, his (C7) boots were far from (F) new
He said I'd  (C) like to sit in with your  band, see i'm a country singer
(G) too
Well (C) we all had a big laugh and when I looked back at the (C7) old man
there was (F) a tear in his eye
 So I told the boys to cool it  cause i didn't want to see him (G) cry
Well  (C) he picked up my old guitar and (C7) ) with a determined look on
(F) his  face
And as he (C) started to sing and  play a look of sadness took it (G) place

He said I've (C) sang my songs from (C7) maine to cali (F) fornia
Seen the (C) world thru the window of a (G) car
I never (C) saved a dime back (C7)  when I made (F) one
Cause I (C) always thought some (G) day I'd be a (C) star
But now my voice is cracked (C7) and no one wants (F) me
My (C) wife gave up on me years (G) ago
Its (C) been so long my kids (C7) don't even know (F) me
And (C) pickin and singin is (G) the only life I've (C) known

And then (C7) he said;
I (F) wonder if God likes country (C) music
Will there be a place up there to sing my (G) songs
Will (C) he make my fingers nimble (C7) like they (F) used to (C) be
So I can play the (G) chords and sing (C) along

Well I just stood there, none of us really knew what to say
Well  he laid my guitar down ever so gently
And as he turned to walk away the boys all stood up and applauded
And I can still hear his words today

I wonder if God likes country music
Will there be a place up there to sing my songs
Will he make my fingers nimble like they used to be
So I can play the chords and sing alon
