THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY
Well [A]life on a farm is kinda laid [D]back
Ain't [A]much an old country boy like [G]me can’t [E7]hack
It's [A]early to rise, [E7]early in the [D]sack
Thank [A]God I'm a [E7]country b[A]oy
A [A]simple kind of life never did me no [D]harm
[A]Raisin' me a family and [G]workin' on a [E7]farm
My [A]days are all f[A/C#]illed with an e[E7]asy country c[D]harm
Thank [A]God I'm a [E7]country [A]boy

[Chorus Chorus 1 ]
Well I [E]got me a fine wife, I [A]got me old fiddle
When the [E]sun's comin' up I got [A]cakes on the griddle
And [A]life ain't nothin' but a [E]funny, funny r[D]iddle
Thank [A]God I'm a [E]country [A]boy
{eoc}

When the [A]work's all done and the sun's settin' [D]low
I [A]pull out my fiddle and I [G]rosin' up the [E7]bow
But the [A]kids are a[A/C#]sleep so I [E7]keep it kinda [D]low
Thank [A]God I'm a [E7]country [A]boy
[A]I'd play "Sally Goodin" all day if I [D]could
But the [A]lord and my wife wouldn't [G]take it very [E]good
So I [A]fiddle when I [A/C#]can and I wo[E]rk when I sh[D]ould
Thank [A]God I'm a [E]country [A]boy

[*CHORUS 1]

I [A]wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or [D]jewels
I [A]never was one of them [G]money-hungry [E7]fools
I'd [A]rather have my [A/C#]fiddle and my [E]farmin' [D]tools
Thank [A]God I'm a [E7]country [A]boy

Yeah [A]city folk drivin’ in a black limou[D]sine
A lotta [A]sad people thinkin' [G]that's mighty [E7]keen
Well, [A]son let me [A/C#]tell you now ex[E7]actly what I [D]mean
I thank [A]God I'm a [E7]country [A]boy

[*CHORUS 1]

Well, my [A]fiddle was my daddy's till the day he [D]died
And he [A]took me by the hand and held me[G] close to his [E7]side
He said: "[A]Live a good [A/C#]life and play my f[E7]iddle with p[D]ride
And thank [A]God you're a [E7]country b[A]oy

My daddy [A]taught me young how to hunt and how to [D]whittle
He [A]taught me how to work and play a [G]tune on the [E7]fiddle
He [A]taught me how to [A/C#]love and how to g[E7]ive just a l[D]ittle
Spoken: Thank [A]God I’m a [E7]country [A]boy

[*CHORUS 1] Yeehaw!
