This song isn't too complicated to play, but it's so heartfelt and wonderful :)
I think the feeling is more important than the actual accuracy of your picking
pattern in this song.
However, you can listen to the song to pick it up easily, or you can incorporate
your own style, and it will still sound good.
I've played this along with the album, and it all sounded right to me.
Capo 5
Intro: G, C, G
Today is my Birthday
And all that I want
Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my kitchen
Till the daylight's gone
This one here's my mama
With the long, brown hair
I'm forty years older today than she was in that picture there
But if life stayed they way it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song
G, C, G
These are all my babies
Lord knows how we survived
The first one was hard and the last was unplanned
What a big surprise
That's him with his daddy's eyes
I love the man in this one
It's faded, but I don't care
There are nights when I wake up and know he's beside me, I swear
Sometimes I still feel him there
But if life stayed the way it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song
