Willie Nelson - You Just Cant Play A Sad Song On A Banjo Chords

[Instrumental Intro]
| C  | C#dim  | G | E7 |
| A7 | Am7 D7 | G | G  |
 
 
[Verse 1]
    G                             A7
Now we all know the violin plays sweetly
         D                                     G
And the steel guitar thrills all the world completely
        A7                           D
But for all around good fun there's really only one
          D
And it's round and firm and fully packed
     A7                   D7
And puts the blues on the run
         G                                A7
And you just can't play a sad song on the banjo
 
 
[Verse 2]
  D7                                 G
A banjo tune will have to make you smile
                 C                         G
And when you're feeling low and melancholy
                      E7
Just pick up the old banjo by Golly
             Am                D               G     D
Because you just can't play a sad song on the banjo
 
 
[Interlude]
| G  | E  | A | A |
| D7 | D7 | G | G |
 
 
[Bridge]
     G                  Em7             A7
Now bad news just won't hang around the banjo
     D                              B7
Old dismal gloom will have to disappear
   C                 C#m        G                 E7
A sad song can't be played so please don't be afraid
            Am                D               G     C  G
'Cause you just can't play a sad song on the banjo
