[Intro]
D Cadd9 G D C D
Cadd9 G D C D
[Verse 1]
D Cadd9 G D
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
C D
Ah, but heavier I found the notion to put it down
Cadd9 G D
I been playin’ in their Honky Tonks and bars
C D Cadd9 G D C D
But the babbling of the crowd has lost its charm
[Verse 2]
D Cadd9 G D
Well they dress up in their finest Western clothes
C D
Yeah and where they get it from, nobody knows
Cadd9 G D
And the guitar sounds are howlin’ high and loud
C D
That old pedal steel comes driftin’ like a cloud
[Chorus]
Em A
Ain't it funny how their jewelry turns to rust
F#m G
And the songs they play are covered up in dust
Em A
If you're lookin' for a dance, you'll find it there
G A D
In the Golden Crystal Kingdom on the square
[Pedal Steel Solo]
Cadd9 G D C D
Cadd9 G D C D
[Verse 3]
D Cadd9 G D
I been drownin’ out the bad thoughts in my mind
C D
I've been looking for a home that I just can't find
Cadd9 G D
And the devil's always sparklin’ in the light
C D Cadd9 G D C D
And it shines into my face until I'm blind
[Verse 4]
D Cadd9 G D
Well, I tried to leave, but I could not find the door
C D
Yeah and I don’t wanna play this stage no more
Cadd9 G D
I wish I was back in my Texas home
C D
I'd rather sing this song at the Country Store
[Chorus]
Em A
Ain't it funny how their jewelry turns to rust
F#m G
And the songs they play are covered up in dust
Em A
If you're lookin' for a dance, you'll find it there
G A D
In the Golden Crystal Kingdom on the square
[Outro]
