Some folks say that this life ain't worth living 
                                   D   A  D 
Some folks say that life is just a lie 
        C 
You can take so much from a man 
      G               C 
He'll give you all he can 
          G    C            D               G 
When he's had enough, he'll just one up and die

         C                           G 
He was a legend in his time, I don't know the reason why 
                 C         G                D   A  D 
When he'd sing a song, you know I'd like to cry 
         G                           C 
Now he's on the other side, standing on god's golden shore 
G       C       D             G 
Singing country music for the lord 


                       C           G 
Now a singing life was all he ever wanted 
                                          D     A  D 
But a travelling life can make a man feel tired 
         C 
Lay your fortune on the line 
       G                   C 
Twenty-six ain't past your prime 
        G     C        D                G 
Now the angel band has one more for the choir

                                            D     A  D 
But if you have a song to sing you'll last awhile 
          C 
And we'll hear his songs again 
       G               C 
Coming in on a hickory wind 
         G     C       D                 G 
Grievous angel right beside him one more mile
