Title: Thank God I'm A Country Boy
Artist: John Denver
Tuning: Standard
The one on this site sucked so I think I found all that was wrong with it,
Hopefully this one is better. Strum pattern takes a bit to get used to,
but after you get it its pretty simple
1) AWell life's on a farm is kinda laid Dback,
2) When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
3) I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels,
4) Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died,
1) ain't Amuch an old country boy like Gme can Ehack.
2) I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow.
3) I never was one of them money hungry fools.
4) and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side.
1) It's Aearly to rise, Eearly in the Dsack:
2) But the kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low:
3) I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools:
4) He said: "Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride,
1) A Thank God I'm a Ecountry bAoy.
2) Thank God I'm a country boy.
3) Thank God I'm a country boy.
4) and thank God you're a country boy.
1) A Asimple kind of life never did me no Dharm,
2) I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could,
3) Yeah, city folk drivin in a black limou sine,
4) My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle,
1) Araisin' me a family and Gworkin' on a Efarm.
2) but the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good.
3) a lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen.
4) he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle.
1) My Adays are all filled with an Eeasy country Dcharm:
2) So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should:
3) Well, folks let me tell you now exactly what I mean:
4) He taught me how to love and how to give just a little:
1) A Thank God I'm a Ecountry bAoy.
2) Thank God I'm a country boy.
3) I thank God I'm a country boy.
4) Thank God you're a country boy.
Chorus: Well I Egot me a fine wife, I gAot me old fiddle.
When the Esun's comin' up I got cAakes on the griddle;
and Alife ain't nothin' but a Efunny, funny Driddle:
AThank God I'm a Ecountry boAy.
