Capo IV

 G                  Cadd9   G
There's a little dive on a dead-end road
                      D     G
Called the Cross-Eyed Cricket Waterin' Hole
                       Cadd9  G
Where you can hear the sound of a steel guitar
                   D G
An' get loud an' rowdy with PBR
        D           Cadd9 
But at the top of every hour, man, you can hear a pin drop
     D                    Cadd9
As ol' Jack drops a quarter an' plays Merle on that jukebox, 
an' we stop

Chorus:
G
An' tip our hats
    D            Cadd9     G   D
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
        G
They say country's fadin'
   D              Cadd9     G   D
But we still wavin' that flag around here
Cadd9                  G             A
An' when it's time to go, you know you're welcome back
Cadd9              D           G
Where the people pledge allegiance to the Hag

G                     Cadd9    G
When the weekend comes an' the weather's clear
               D           G   D
There's a high spot fifteen miles from here
                      Cadd9  G
Where you can always find a few dusty trucks
                    Cadd9 D G
With the windows down an' the radio up
   D                     Cadd9
We sit there poppin' tops, shootin' bull an' singin' songs
   D                      Cadd9
But you can bet your boots that when Haggard comes on

(Repeat Chorus)

G                 Cadd9   G
One of these days when my time has come
                  D     G
You can take me back to where I'm from
         Cadd9   G
Put me on a westbound train
                 D    G
An' ship me off in the pourin' rain
D                 Cadd9
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
 D                        Cadd9
Just put a quarter in the jukebox an' sing me back home

G
An' tip our hats
   D            Cadd9     G   D
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
        G
They say country's fadin'
   D              Cadd9     G   D
But just keep wavin' that flag around here
Cadd9         G         A
An' I know, it'll keep on comin' back
Cadd9               D
Long as people pledge allegiance
     Em             A
Where folks still pledge allegiance
Cadd9       D        G
I pledge allegiance to the Hag
