E5
    The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars,
                                                                                              E5
    I've said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars,
           A5                                                                            E5
    The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars,
                  B5                                    E5
    and I'm gonna be a country girl again.

              E5
    I've spent my time in study, oh I've taken my degree,
                                                                                  E5
    I've memorized my formulae, my A's and B's and C's.
               A5                                                                                 E5
    But what I've know came long ago, and not from such as these,
           B5                                   E5
    I'm gonna be a country girl again.

                     E5                 A5                  E5
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again,
                                                                                                      B5
with an old brown dog, and a big front porch, and rabbits in the pen.
               E5                                                     A5
I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green,
               E5                 B5                E5
and I'm gonna be a country girl again.

             E5
    I've wandered through the hearts of men, lookin' for a sign,
                                                                                           E5
    that here I might find happiness, I might find peace of mind.
            A5                                                                                           E5
   The one who taught my lesson was the south wind through the pines,
                  B5                                    E5
    and I'm gonna be a country girl again.

                     E5                 A5                  E5
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again,
                                                                                                      B5
with an old brown dog, and a big front porch, and rabbits in the pen.
               E5                                                     A5
I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green,
               E5                 B5                E5
and I'm gonna be a country girl again.
                E5                 B5                A5       E5
And I'm gonna be a country girl again.
