This song is hilarious but describes the truth of the redneck. Thank you for transcribing this chord.

If anyone has been wondering how the last part of the song goes, here it is:
"Tonight I'm thinking of my Blue Eyes
Concerning a great speckled bird
I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
And went back to the wild side of life"
This is a ode to 3 old songs that have the exact same melody: The Carter Family's "Tonight I'm thinking of my Blue Eyes", Roy Acuff's "The Great Speckled Bird", and Hank Thompson's "The Wild Side of Life"

I was wondering what the last verse was about thanks

it is also a tribute to ms kitty wells' song honky tonk angels.

its not a tribute! people like kitty wells said he wasn't country and that he shouldnt be on the radio or the opry. this whole song is about DAC telling everybody that he's more country than anybody else. when he throws all those songs together at the end he is mocking them not tributing them!

also DAC plays w/ the capo on the 3rd and plays G C D

Yes, the song is in the key of Bb played in the G position with a capo on the 3rd fret. Also, the meaning of the song can not be fully understood or appreciated without listening to the entire album in which it first was released on, "David Allan Coe Rides Again". "Rides Again" is a concept album that starts with "Willie, Waylon and me" aligning himself with the outlaw movement and then moving through songs that are musically tied together and exploring all aspects of country music of the time and of the past generation. He parody's himself and many others throughout with the final song, "If that ain't country..." tying everything together and summing up everything that was played on the album. In my opinion Coe is one of the greats and it is too bad that his work is not very understood but I guess that is, in large part, his own fault. He is truly a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

These are not the right chords at all.
-Rsin28 | 8/30/2010 |
one of my favourite songs! thanks!

BrianEarlHaines couldn't be more right about DAC, Rides Again is the American Abbey Road

-Rsin28 ........WELL!! What are the right cords? Don't come on here and criticize someone's work and then not offer a solution to the problem.
-KennyA | 7/14/2016 |
Rsin28 is right, these aren't the right chords at all. However, unlike him, I will offer a solution...
Standard tuning, capo on 3rd fret, song is G, C, D
