Country Music Story Part 2 after this message.
In its 50 year history, country music has continually been evolving into newer and different styles.
Until today, in 1971, we have what is called the modern sound of country music.
To some, it's been for the better, while to others, any mention of modern country is unacceptable.
Yet there are many sides to this modern sound.
Sounds that range from symphony orchestras to straight down-home country.
Let's look at some of them and start with one that's clean and fresh and straight ahead.
Merle Haggard.
[D] [Em] [D]
[A] [D]
It's a way of mine to [A] say just what [D] I'm thinking
And to do the things [A]
I really want [D] to do
[G] [D] [G] And you'd like to change the part of me [D] I'm proud of
So I can't be [A] myself when [D] I'm with you
Oh, [Bm]
[F#m] [D] you never like the [A] clothes I [D] wear on Sunday
Just because I [A] don't believe the way [D] you do
[Em]
[F#m] [G] But I believe the Lord knows I'm [D] unhappy
Cause I can't be [A] myself when I'm [D] with you
I
[G] can't be myself and be [D] what pleases you
And [G] down deep inside [D] I don't believe [E] that you'd want me [A] to
[G#] And [G] it's not my way to take so [D] long deciding
That I can't be [A] myself when [D] I'm with you
I
[A]
[D]
[G] can't be myself and be [D] what pleases you
And [G] down deep inside [D] I don't believe [E] that you'd want me [A] to
And [G#] [G] it's not my style to take so [D] long deciding
That I can't [A] be myself when [D] I'm with you
No, I can't be [A] myself when [D] I'm with you
[A] [D] [N]
