Verse:
G
Country Dick was a man
C     G
Big as the Rio Grande
             D
His voice did boom like thunder
G
But that evil rotten turd
     G
Mr. Mike Perv
G
Laid Country Dick six feet under

Verse:
     G
Country Dick played the drums
       C   G
Like he was fuckin' nuns
G        D
Behind the rectory
     D
He was pure rock 'n roll
C       G
Chaos in his soul
      D    G
He came to set us free

Verse:
     C
Country Dick had three wives
G
He told them bald-faced lies
             D
With women he sure was brave
G
But that evil rotten turd
C     G
Mr. Mike Perv
       D      G
Laid Country Dick in his grave
G
(Put him down)

Verse:
G
Country Dick was our king
   C      G
The truth he did sing
           D
He died mid-song on stage
G
Killed by record company cheaters
C       G
Bean-counting wife beaters
G
He would not be a slave

Verse:
   C
But friend, don't be sad
G
'Cause Country Dick is dead
G          D
His voice raves on forever
G
And this big ol' planet Earth
C        G
Has just given birth
           D        G
To a brand new hell-raisin' trouble makers

Verse:
G
Let's hoist a glass to our friend
     C     G
Let the drinkin' begin
G            D
Eat some 'shrooms right now
   G
Play poker 'til dawn
C      G
Dean Martin records on
G
And all rear back and begin to howl
