[Verse]
         A                       D
Well the grand ole opry ain't so grand anymore
         A                                         E
Did you know Hank Williams ain't a member but they keep 'im outside their door
          A                                   D
Hell they didn't even really want Johnny Cash back in '74
          A                      E        A
Said the grand ole opry ain't so grand anymore

[Chorus]
               D                             A
Well they were nervous about Waylon cause he had a crooked smile
    E                                                 A
For many many years they never wanted Bocephus 'cause he's too goddamn loud
        D                                     A
Did you really think they ever wanted Johnny Paycheck hanging around
     E                                                                A
Hell nah 'cause they're too up tight wild for real rebels like to get down

[Verse]
   A                                      D
To most people listening to this it might seem like I'm talking shit
           A                                                        E
But if you look behind the scenes of who's pulling the strings well god dammit it'll make ya sick
     A                                        D
Hank Williams still ain't reinstated and I'll tell ya that's fuckin' bullshit
       A                                           E                        A
And if King Jimmy Martin if he was still here he'd tell 'em all to suck his dick

[Chorus]
               D                              A
Well they were nervous about Waylon 'cause he had a crooked smile

Hell nah 'cause they're too up tight wild for real rebels like to get down

[Verse]
        D                       A
And the grand ole opry ain't so grand anymore
          E                               A
Well they done fucked off the people that made it when it wasn't shit before
          D                                   A
Hell they didn't even really want Johnny Cash back in '74
         E                                A
Said the grand ole opry ain't so grand anymore

[Outro]
        D                       A

        E                                          A
Did you know Hank Williams ain't a member but they keep 'im outside their door
          D                                   A
Hell they didn't even really want Johnny Cash back in '74
         E                                          A
