I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again

Key: E

Introduction:

                        E  
          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  
          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  
          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                         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                            B7                              A    E  
And I'm gonna be a country girl again.
