[Intro]
D G C D Bm G A
 
 
[Chorus]
D         Bm          G     C
All of my heroes keep dying
D              Bm      G    A
Lord, may they rest in peace
    D             Bm
So, here's to the songs
     G                E
That will always live on
     D         A     G  D
From now until eternity
 
 
[Verse 1]
                      A
Well as a kid I would sing
    Bm7            D
Two islands in the stream
    G          D
And all that I wanted
       Em7            A
Was to dance with somebody
 
      D              A
Had a grunge flannel phase,
       Bm          D
And my teen spirit days
        G            D
Georgia plates on my truck
            Em7        A
But playing California love, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
D         Bm          G     C
All of my heroes keep dying
D              Bm      G    A
Lord, may they rest in peace
    D             Bm
So, here's to the songs
     G                E
That will always live on
     D         A     G  D
From now until eternity
 
 
[Verse 2]
                           A
Oh, the first chords daddy showed me
       Bm           Am
Was to Okie from Muskogee
       G         D
Then I started a band
           Em7             A
Knew I was born a ramblin’ man
 
        D        A
Took an American girl
      Bm          A
And I made her my wife
        G        D
I guess even the losers
    Em        A
Get lucky sometimes, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
D         Bm          G     C
All of my heroes keep dying
D              Bm      G    A
Lord, may they rest in peace
    D             Bm
So, here's to the songs
          G           E7
That will always live on
     D         A     G  D
From now until eternity
 
 
[Bridge]
          G
I bet the bar stools in heaven
        D
Are all filled up with legends
         Em
But they don't drink alone
          Bm              D
And tears dry on their own
 
          G
When it's my time to go
D
All that I hope is
Em                       A
Old Country Road Take me home
   D
It seems like the lessons
 
         Bm       A
From the ones up above
      G                       D
As if we're all going to make it
     Em7             A
Well all you need is love
         D            A
So let's take all the songs
 
     Bm             D
That they've left behind
      G                    D
And tonight we're going to party
          Em7 A
Like it's 199-9, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
D         Bm          G             C
All of my heroes keep dying [all my heroes)
D              Bm      G                    A
Lord, may they rest in peace (Lord may they rest in pease)
D                 Bm              G           E7
So, here's to the songs that will always live on
     D         A     G   D
From now until eternity
 
 
[Outro]
              Bm            G           E
Here's to the songs that'll always live on
     D         A     G  D Em  D
From now until eternity
