A World Without Haggard

D D G D I was on the road in Georgia, when I heard Merle had passed away D A Hell, I thought he'd live forever, he shaped every note I played D G D Tonight these old white lines look different than they usually do A D He was my greatest inspiration, the reason why I sing the blues G D He taught me how to play the guitar and write a country song A He spent time in San Quentin for the things that he'd done wrong D G D He made me proud to be an Okie, and God knows we paid our dues A D He was my greatest inspiration, the reason why I sing the blues G D Oh, I'm lost in a world without Haggard G D Oh, who'll tell the truth to you and me? G D Oh, I'm lost in a world without Haggard A D It's a world I thought I would never see Instr Bridge G D G D G D D A D D G D He gave his life to country music, he's the best that's ever been A An honest voice of reason, like we won't see again D G D If I could hear one last song, it's Merle that I would choose A D He was my greatest inspiration, the reason why I sing the blues A D G A D He was my greatest inspiration, the reason why I sing the blues
