Good Times Roll
Chris Stapleton

[Intro]
G    C  Em  D
Oh, let the good times roll, yeah

[Verse 1]
G                C
Life’s too short to worry
Em                  D
About things we can’t control
G              C
So come on, let’s hurry
Em                 D
Take a ride down this country road

[Chorus]
G             C
Let the good times roll tonight
D             G
Underneath the starry sky
G             C
We’ll sing and dance till morning light
Em             D
Let the good times roll, yeah

[Verse 2]
G                C
We got friends and family
Em                  D
All gathered around
G              C
Sharing laughs and memories
Em                  D
With that sweet, familiar sound

[Chorus]
G             C
Let the good times roll tonight
D             G
Underneath the starry sky
G             C
We’ll sing and dance till morning light
Em             D
Let the good times roll, yeah

[Bridge]
C                   G
So raise your glass, let’s make a toast
D                   G
To the ones we love the most
C                   G
Here’s to moments big and small
D                   G
We cherish them all

[Chorus]
G             C
Let the good times roll tonight
D             G
Underneath the starry sky
G             C
We’ll sing and dance till morning light
Em             D
Let the good times roll, yeah

[Outro]
G             C
Oh, let the good times roll
G             C
Oh, let the good times roll
G             C
Yeah, let the good times roll

For "Good Times Roll," a typical country rock anthem, I would suggest a steady, driving drum beat to keep the energy high and support the celebratory vibe of the song.

Drum Beat

Tempo: 120 BPM

[Intro]

• 4-count hi-hat: This sets the stage and helps the band come in together.

[Verse 1 & 2]

• Kick Drum: On beats 1 and 3
• Snare: On beats 2 and 4
• Hi-Hat: 8th notes (slightly open for a bit of sustain)

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
K   S   K   S
H H H H H H H H

[Chorus]

• Kick Drum: On each quarter note (1, 2, 3, 4)
• Snare: On the backbeat (2 and 4)
• Hi-Hat: 8th notes (possibly a bit more open for even more sustain)

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
K   K S K   K S
H H H H H H H H

[Bridge]

• Kick Drum: On beats 1 and 3
• Snare: On beats 2 and 4
• Hi-Hat: Quarter notes (for a more open, relaxed feel before the final chorus)

1 2 3 4
K S K S
H H H H

[Outro]

• The outro can follow the same beat as the chorus to keep the energy up until the end.

Additional Notes:

• During instrumental breaks, you might add some tom fills or a roll on the snare for emphasis.
• Feel free to throw in some cymbal crashes, particularly at the start of the chorus to elevate the energy.

This drum pattern should provide a solid foundation to keep the pace lively and the audience engaged, capturing the essence of those good times rolling!
