I’m gonna be a country girl again

E

1. The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars,

E7

I've said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars,

A E

The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars,

B7 E

and I'm gonna be a country girl again.

E

2. I've spent my time in study, oh I've taken my degree,

E7

I've memorized my formulae, my A's and B's and C's.

A E

But what I've know came long ago, and not from such as these,

B7 E

I'm gonna be a country girl again.

E A E

Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again,

B7

with an old brown dog, and a big front porch, and rabbits in the pen.

E A

I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green,

E B7 E

and I'm gonna be a country girl again.

E

3. I've wandered through the hearts of men, lookin' for a sign,

E7

that here I might find happiness, I might find peace of mind.

A E

The one who taught my lesson was the south wind through the pines,

B7 E

and I'm gonna be a country girl again.

E B7 A - E

+ CHORUS + And I'm gonna be a country girl again.
