             COUNTRY GIRL
            CAROLINE JONES

CAPO: 2nd FRET

INTRO:
Am G C C G C F C G C C


VERSE:
    F  C    G
Oh my Daddy’s from Memphis
G      F    C  G
He used to hunt in Arkansas
 G      F    C    G
And then he moved to New York City
        Am   F C G
That’s where he met my Mom

G       F    C   G  G
He wrote his Mom  and Dad a letter
 G     F     C     G
“I’ll be a millionaire by twenty-five”
G       F     C     G
I don’t know which one of us dreams bigger
      Am  G  F  C G
I have his heart and drive


PRE-CHORUS:
 G   Am       C
And he always told me and my sisters
        F    C   G
When we were scared to bait a hook
 G        Am      C
Girls you don’t want to be no city slickers


CHORUS:
G     Am G  C
So I’m a country girl
       C       G
I love the trees and the flowers
    C      G
Those well-spent hours
    F      G
Staring up at the stars

     Am G  C
Oh I’m a country girl
     C      G
Though I live in the city
      C       G
And those lights are so pretty
     Am G C C G C
But I’d happily rather be
    F       G        C  C
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar


INSTRUMENTAL:
Am G C     C G C       F  C  G C
   Mmm mm mm   Mmm mm mm  Mmm mmm mmm


VERSE:
    F   C   G
Oh my Grandma was a lady
      F      C     G
She always wore dress suits and pearls
        F     C  G
Our favorite treat was a ladyfingers
        F  C G
And I have her curls

    F   C    G
And my Mama’s from Australia
       F    C   G
And she grew up without a Dad
      F    C
And so she raised a hope
   G        Am  F C G
That gave us what she never had


PRE-CHORUS:
      Am      G    C
And on the farm where I spent my childhood
    F      C   G
Riding horses and writing songs
     Am     G
Oh, I’m still that child
       C     F C G
And that’s still where I belong


CHORUS:
       Am G  C
‘Cause I’m a country girl
       C       G
I love the trees and the flowers
    C      G
Those well-spent hours
    F      G
Staring up at the stars

     Am G  C
Oh I’m a country girl
     C      G
Though I live in the city
      C        G
And those lights sure are pretty
     Am G C C G C
But I’d happily rather be
    F       G        C  C  C
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar


OUTRO:
     Am G C  C G C
I would rather be, happily
    F    C   G        C  C
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar
