I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again

         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.
