Lee Kernaghan - Country's Really Big These Days
There wasn't really an 'easy way' to tab the key change in this song...
You can either play without the capo, using barre chords for the 1st part of
the song, or use the capo and play barre chords through the 2nd part.
I decided to go with the capo....
The other way you could play this is to quickly move the capo up a fret (to 2nd)
when the key change happens, and just play the same chords all the way through.
Play this with a capo on 1st fret.
All chord names and shapes are relative to position of capo.
Real chord names are in square brackets below.
G (Ab) 320003 C (Db) x32010
F (F#) 133211 Am (Bbm) x02210
Ab (A) 466544 Db (D) x46664
F# (G) 244322 Bbm (Bm) x13321
[G]INT[C]RO[G]
It was [C]back in '36 when country music came to [F]town,
Tex had [G]wrote a few songs and he'd come to put his music [C]down.[G]
[C]Regal Zonophone cut those early 7[F]8's,
And the [G]man said on the wireless, "Country's really big these [C]days".
We [C]heard him sing about where the white face cattle [F]roam,
And Aus[G]tralia came to see the Buddy William's Travellin' [C]Show.[G]
And then [C]Slim hit the road and soon became a household [F]name,
They were [G]saying back then, "Country's really big these [C]days".
Yeah, [Am]break out the fiddle,[G] resin [F]up the [C]bow,
Like they [F]did back then on those [G]old time country [C]shows.[G]
'Cause we re[C]member our roots and the pioneers who paved the [F]way,
Now [G]everybody's saying, "Country's really big these [C]days".
G C (key change) Ab
INSTRUMENTAL
There's [Db]been a lot of changes in the music indus[F#]try,
We're on [Ab]compact disc now and country's on MT[Db]V.[Ab]
Old [Db]Tex and Buddy wish they were around to[F#]day,
'Cause [Ab]everybody's saying, "Country's really big these [Db]days".
Yeah, [Bbm]break out the fiddle,[Ab] resin [F#]up the [Db]bow,
Like they [F#]did back then on those [Ab]old time country [Db]shows.[Ab]
'Cause we re[Db]member our roots and the pioneers who paved the [F#]way,
That's why [Ab]everybody's saying, "Country's really big these [Db]days".
Yeah from [Ab]Perth to Goondiwindi, country's really big these [Db]days.
Yeah, from [Ab]Cairns down to Burnie, country's really big these [Db]days.
