              INTRO: E  D  A 
       A  E  D 
       A  E  D 
 
        A              E                    D 
There a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop 
      A                     E                  D 
Where all the folks come to hear country music play 
A                  E                      D 
And every year the city's gettin' closer, Lord knows it won't stop 
A                          E               D 
And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today, yeah he said 
 
A             E            F#m           D 
This land was our land but Lord now it's their land 
    A           E                 D 
And we're still here, but not for long 
A                E            F#m          D 
So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones 
     A              E            D 
'Til we've sung the last country song 
 
 
There's 300 acres of cotton corn and a little bit of gravel 
All bought up by a builder from downtown 
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin and the walls start to rattle 
A big bulldozer's gonna take Hank's roadhouse down, so everybody sing 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
E                                      D 
Will we play "Swingin'" or "He Stopped Loving Her Today" 
     Bm            E               D 
It's really sad to see it end this way 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
     A              E            D 
'Til we've sung the last country song 
   A              E            D 
Oh we've sung the last country song 
   A              E            D     A 
Oh we've sung the last country song
