[Intro]
G D A D
 
[Verse 1]
D
He used to play the Opry
G
When he was on a roll
D
The rhinestones he was flashing
A
Have all but lost their glow
D
That old guitar he was wearing
G
Was the only friend he'd known
D
He could sure sing a sad country song
A D
With that old Silvertone
 
[Verse 2]
G
An astray for tips a barstool for a stage
D
He'd stay there till closing time
A
And play the pain away
D
That old guitar in the corner
G
Was the only friend he'd known
D
He could sure sing a sad country song
A D
With that old Silvertone
 
[Solo]
G D A D
 
[Verse 3]
D
I stopped in that little bar
G
To try and catch his show
D
But he'd moved on to a bigger stage
A
Little did I know
D
I'd say there's just not one dry eye
G
In Canaan land tonight
D
Cause the way he'd play that Silvertone
A D
Would make an angel cry
 
[Verse 4]
G
A beer mug for tips a barstool for a stage
D
He'd play there till closing time
A
and sing the blues away
D
For a tip and a shot of whiskey
G
He'd put you on the show
D
He could sure sing a sad country song
A D
With that old Silvertone
 
[Outro]
G D
Yeah, he could sure sing a sad country song
A D
with that old Silvertone
