[Verse 1]
G
I'm a ghost on the radio
G               D
A needle on the vinyl
D              Am
A country boy survival
Am              C
The bottom of a bottle, yeah
D                        G
I’m the fightin' side of you and me
G                      D
And my heart's down in Tennessee


[Chorus]
N.C.                   G
And I sing songs about freight trains and prisons
G
Heartaches and honky-tonks
D
Cowboys and outlaws
D
Good-hearted women
Am
In boots and straw hats
Am
All gone, just like that
C                         D
They can’t even recognize me
D                    G
They used to call me Country


[Verse 2]
G
Used to have cool names like Willie and Waylon
G
Merle and Hank
D
We all stood together
D
We sang and we drank
C
Chased the white lines
D
Night after night


[Chorus]
                    G
Singin' songs about freight trains and prisons
G
Heartaches and honky-tonks
D
And cowboys and outlaws
D
Good-hearted women
Am
In boots and straw hats
Am
All gone, just like that
C                         D
They can't even recognize me
D                     G
They used to call me Country


[Instrumental]
G D Am C


[Verse 3]
D           G
Like an old violin
G                  D
Put away and never played again
D            Am
Paycheck and Cash
Am                     D
Naw, they ain't comin' back


[Chorus]
                      G
They did songs about freight trains and prisons
G
Heartaches and honky-tonks
D
Cowboys and outlaws
D
Good-hearted women
Am
In boots and straw hats
Am
All gone, just like that
C                         D
They can't even recognize me
D                    G
They used to call me Country


[Outro]
G                    D
They used to call me Country
D                  Am
I'm a thing of the past
Am C
N.C.
I'm a ghost on the radio
