[Chorus]
                 A
I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain
           D                       A
Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane
                     E                      A
You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly

When I get finished plowin', I'm gonna go to the pond
