D                                G           D
He was raised on a tractor in overalls and boots
                                        G           D
been to college then law school since leaving his roots
                          G         D
came home in a Lexus, he left in a Ford
G        A                D
country ain't country no more

[Verse II]
D                G                  D
He told his daddy keep up with the times
D                            G             D
he said, now days people trade heifers online
D                             G               D
daddy ain't sealing deals with handshakes no more
       G          A          Bm
and country ain't country no more
      G      A                 D
no country ain't country no more

[Chorus]
G                                 D
The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
      A                    D
and sold by the half acre lot overnight
G                           D
the houses went up and the trees they came down
A                               D
and there went the finest deer huntin' around
         G          Bm          Em
Lord, everyone's locking their doors
         G      A               D
cause country ain't country no more

[Verse III]
D                                    G             D
Now his dad sits in traffic looking round at the change
                                      G          D
watching crews turn the country road into four lanes
                                 G       D
the old Sunday drive has turned into a chore
       G      A            Bm
and country ain't country more
        G              A        D
Lord, country ain't country no more

[Chorus]
G                                 D
The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
      A                    D
and sold by the half acre lot overnight
G                           D
the houses went up and the trees they came down
A                               D
and there went the finest deer huntin' around
         G          Bm          Em
Lord, everyone's locking their doors
         G      A               D
cause country ain't country no more

[Outro]
D                            G               D
there's no turning back and you just can't ignore
        G             A        Bm
that country ain't country no more
     G              A        D
no country ain't country no more
