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.
