The Steel Guitar Rag as sung by Merle Travis
{G}Been travelin' around, seen many a town,
Maybe you'll find I'm the {D7}kind of guy that {G}brags.
But take it from me and {G7}see, if{C} you don't a{G}gree
No melody rolls, like that{D7} ole steel guitar{G} rag.
And when they{C} slide that thing, a{G}long the strings
It{A7} sounds so dawg gone heavenly, you'll{D7} hear them angels sing
When you{C} start your feet, you're{G} heart will beat,
A {D7}rhythm of that ole steel guitar {G}rag.
You maybe kinda choosy about the kind of songs you hear,
You may like them that's bluesy , make you{D7} cry right in your beer,
But{G} if you want a song that's bound to{C} drive away your tears,
Make happy your{G} soul with that{D7} ole Steel Guitar{G} Rag
