[Verse I]
D
Got the news this morning
D
it would be a tough day
G
someone's so much larger than life
D
can't believe he could pass away
A Bm G
when it comes to country music he's the world
A Bm G
and it wouldn't be all it is without his word
[Chorus]
D
And He won't ever be gone
A
his songs live on
Em
a fugutive and a brand new man
G
mama tried to understand
Em A
left us a lifetime of songs
D
And He won't ever be gone
[Verse II]
D
We were friends right from the start
D
and we shared some high times
G
I would sing some songs he wrote
D
and he would sing a few of my own
A Bm G
music made us brothers 'til the end
A Bm G
not a day goes by that I don't miss him
[Chorus]
D
And He won't ever be gone
A
his songs live on
Em
ramblin' fever and the way I am
G
blue collar blues for the working man
Em A
we'll be singin it back home from now on
Bm
And He won't ever be gone
[Guitar Solo]
