 Song: When countrytook the throne 
 Album: Don't know 
  
 D 
 Just a skinny little Mississippi railroad man  
 G 
 That loved to sing and play  
 A 
 He brought his music from the cotton fields  
            D 
 To the the hillbilly hall of fame  
  
 Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers  
            G 
 Chisel his name in the cornerstone  
 A 
 I just wish he could've lived to see the day  
      G       A        D 
 When country took the throne  
 D 
 Now a million songs have come and gone  
 G 
 Since we made that humble start  
 A 
 About neon nights, everyday life  
                 D 
 Love and broken hearts  
  
 And more and more folks  
             G 
 Kept tuning in and turning on  
 A 
 Now I can proudly say that I saw the day  
 G    A                D 
 When country took the throne  
  
 G                                D 
 Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York  
            A 
 They can't get enough of this country stuff  
             G             D 
 And they're screaming for more  
  
 We painted the town with that grand old sound  
         A                G 
 And the whole world sang along  
 D 
 Yes, I was there the day  
      A                D 
 When country took the throne  
  
 D 
 Now, no one knows what the future holds  
 G 
 But I bet my best guitar  
 A 
 There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter  
       D 
 And a honky-tonk on Mars  
  
 In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer  
          G 
 The best music ever known  
 A 
 They'll celebrate that age old day  
      G       A        D 
 When country took the throne  
  
  
  
 G                                D 
 Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York  
            A 
 They can't get enough of this country stuff  
             G             D 
 And they're screaming for more  
  
 We painted the town with that grand old sound  
         A                G 
 And the whole world sang along  
 D 
 Yes, I was there the day  
      A                D 
 When country took the throne  
  
 G 
 I said I was there the day  
      A                D 
 When country took the throne
