[Intro]
D G/B F#m Em A
D G/B

[Verse 1]
                           F#m
I wish you could've stuck around this year
    Em            A               D     G/B
The spring came sooner than we thought
                         F#m
If you'd seen all those leaves turn green
     Em           A        D
You might not've felt so lost.

[Chorus 1]
    C       B7
Old Country,
                 Em        C
Why'd you let him leave?
            B7
Old Country,
                 Em
Why'd you let him leave?
  C   G/B
Mmmm

[Verse 2]
                       F#m
Workin' longer in the fields these days,
     Em           A         D   G/B
With nothing to come home to
                       F#m
Except a momma layin' flat in a daze,
Em          A             D
Prayin' and pleadin' for you.

[Chorus 2]
    C       B7
Old Country,
                 Em        C
Why'd you let him leave?
            B7
Old Country,
                 Em
Why'd you let him leave?
  C
Mmmm

[Chorus 3]
    C
Old Country,
    Em       C*
Old Country,
B7              C
Why'd you let him leave?

Hmmmm
