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