Written by:


          WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS   Arron Tippin
F#                                     B                   F#
If I was a-running this country  I'd start it over from scratch
F#                                        C# 
Keep what's good pile up what's bad  And then I'd strike the match
     F#                           B 
Yeah we go back to the basics Of how things ought to be
       F#                             C#                F# 
Yeah there'd be a line of changes  If it was left up to me


CHORUS:
F#                                    B                 F#
Cause what this country needs  Is a little more steel guitar
    F#
1.2.)And put a little fiddle right in the middle
3.)Yea put a sawing fiddle right square in the middle
         G#             C#
Straight out of a Texas bar
          F#                                                   B
1.2.)and give us a song we can all sing along    from sea to shining sea
3.)And y'all give us a song that we all can sing from sea to shining sea
     F#
Yeah be proud of it and always love it
         C#                F# 
That's what this country needs

F#                                          B               F#
Now if you want to hear about living Just twist that radio dial
     F#                             C#
You come to a singer singing what life's all about 
F#
But you can't deny that people still cry
       B
They laugh and they smile and they hurt
F#                                      C#                     F#
That's my humble opinion y'all you can take it for what it's worth

       B                                    F#
Yeah turn it on up and let it ring out  A-cross the land of the free
      G#
They ought to build a statue to Hank Williams Senior
      C#
And watch it ??change the scene??

Repeat chorus
