A World Without Haggard

 D

[Verse 1]
D                             G  
I was on the road in Georgia, 
                D
when I heard Merle had passed away
D                                 
Hell, I thought he'd live forever,
                      A
 he shaped every note I played
               D                   
Tonight these old white lines look 
           G               D
different than they usually do
                                A  
He was my greatest inspiration, the
                           D
 reason why I sing the blues
He taught me how to play the guitar 
 G                      D
and write a country song
He spent time in San Quentin for the
                      A
 things that he'd done wrong
             D                  G 
He made me proud to be an Okie, 
                     D
and God knows we paid our dues

He was my greatest inspiration, the
                       D
 reason why I sing the blues


[Chorus]
G                              D
Oh, I'm lost in a world without 
Haggard
G                                 
Oh, who'll tell the truth to you 
    D
and me?
         G                     
Oh, I'm lost in a world without 
       D
Haggard
             A                     
It's a world I thought I would 
     D
never see

[Verse 2]
D                                 
He gave his life to country music,
  G                         D
 he's the best that's ever been
An honest voice of reason, like we 
          A
won't see again
 D                             G  
If I could hear one last song, 
                        D
it's Merle that I would choose
                                A  
He was my greatest inspiration, the
                         D
 reason why I sing the blues
                                 A 
He was my greatest inspiration, the
                          D  G A D
 reason why I sing the blues
