CAPO II


INTRO: A

          A                D        A
There's a little dive on a dead-end road
                              E        A
Called the Cross-Eyed Cricket Waterin' Hole
              A                   D     A
Where you can hear the sound of a steel guitar
                          E A
And get loud and rowdy on PBR
           E                      D
But at the top of every hour, man you can hear a pin drop
        E                                 D
cuz ol' Jack drops in a quarter and plays Merle on the Jukebox, and we stop, and


CHORUS:
A                E
Tip our hats and raise our glasses
   D          A    E
Of cold, cold beer
         A                    E
They say country's fading but we're still waving
     D           A    
That flag 'round here
          D              D/C           B
When it's time to go you know you're welcome back
      D               E               A
Where people pledge allegiance to the Hag


When the weekend comes and the weather's clear
There's a high spot 15 miles from here
Where you can alays find a few dusty trucks
With the windows down the radio up
We sit there poppin' tops, shootin' bull and singin' songs
But you can bet your boots that when Haggard comes on, we


CHORUS


One of these days when my time has come
You can take me back to where I'm from
Put me on a westbound train
And ship me off in the pourin' rain
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Just put a quarter in the jukebox and sing me back home


CHORUS:
    A                 E
And tip your hats and raise your glasses
   D          A     E
Of cold, cold beer
         A                    E
They say country's fading but just still waving
     D           A
That flag 'round here
      D          D/C      B
And I know it'll keep on comin' back
           D                E
As long as people pledge allegiance
      Bm                    E
Where folks still pledge allegiance
D           E              A
I pledge allegiance to the Hag
