Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was sit[F]tin' on a bar stool
[C]In a barbecue joint in [G]Tennessee
When this old boy [F]walked in
[C]And he sat right down next [D]to me
I could [Em]tell he'd been through

[Verse 2]
[Em]
some hard [C]times
'Cause there were [G]tear
stains on his old [C]shirt
And he said,
[F]you wanna know what you get
When you [C]play a country song
[G]backwards

[Verse 3]
[G]
You get your [Gm]house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend
Jack back
You get your truck back

[Verse 4]
You get your hair back [Gm]You get your
first and second [G]jobs back
Your [C]front porch swing

[Verse 5]
Your [C]bling, bling, bling and a diamond ring
You get your [G]farm, and the barn
And the boat, and the Harley
[Gm]And that old black
cat named [D]Charlie

[Verse 6]
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But [G]that's what you [D]get
[G]When you play a [D]country
song backwards
[G]

[Verse 7]
Well, [C]I never heard it said quite like that
It [G]hit me in the face 'cause
that's where I'm at
I [C]almost fell flat out on the floor
[D]He said, wait a minute, that's not all
There's even more

[Verse 8]
You get your [Gm]mind back
You get your nerves back
Your achy breaky heart
You get your pride back

[Verse 9]
You get your life back [Gm]You get your
first real love [G]back
You get your [C]big screen TV, a DVD
And a washing machine

[Verse 10]
You get the [Gm]pond, and the lawn
The breaker, and the [G]mower
You go back where you don't know her
It [D]sounds a little crazy

[Verse 11]
A little [D]scattered and absurd
But [G]that's what you [D]get
[G]When you play a country
[D]song backward[G]s[Em]
[D]Oh play that [A]song![D]

[Verse 12]
[C]We sat there and talked
About how it would be
If we could [D]turn it all around
And go back T-I-M-E

[Verse 13]
You [D]You [G]You [D]You[G][D]
get your [Gm]house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend
Jack back
You get your truck back

[Verse 14]
You get your hair back You [Gm]get your

You get your [C]big screen TV, a DVD
And a washing machine
You get the [Gm]pond, and the lawn

[Verse 18]
The breaker, and the [G]mower
You go back when life was slower
[D]It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd

[Verse 19]
But [G]that's what you [D]get
[G]When you play [D]a country [F]song[C][D]
