Thank god Iām a country boy (midi)
A D
1. Well, life on a farm is kinda laid back,
A G E
ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack.
A D
It's early to rise and early in the sack,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy !
A D
2. Well, a simple kind of life, never did me no harm,
A G E
raising me a family and working on a farm.
A D
My days are all filled with an easy country charm,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy !
E A
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle,
E A
when the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
D
And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy !
A D
3. When the work's all done and the sun's setting low,
A G E
I pull out my fiddle and I'm rosing up the bow.
A D
But the kids are asleep, so I keep it kinda low,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy !
A D
4. I'd play "Sally Gooding" all the day if I could,
A G E
but the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good.
A D
So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy ! + CHORUS
A D
5. Well, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels,
A G E
I never was one of them money hungry fools.
A D
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farming tools,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy !
A D
6. Yeah, city folks driving in a black limousine,
A G E
a lot of sad people thinking, "That's mighty keen".
A D
Well, folks let me tell you now exactly what I mean,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy ! + CHORUS
A D
7. Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died,
A G E
and he took me by his hand, held me close to his side.
A D
He said, "Live a good live and play my fiddle with pride!"
A E - A
Thank God I'm a country boy !
A D
8. My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle,
A G E
he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle.
A D
He taught me how to love and how to give just a little,
A E - A
thank God I'm a country boy ! + CHORUS
