G						    C            D		       (riff)
She's been playing that room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
	 G        			 C		D          	      (riff)
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages
	         G						  C		    D
She's been reading 'bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's
	  (riff)
buying
		  G			    C      D				(riff)
Say's I'm a simple girl myself grew up on Long Island
	   Em                       D
So she packs her bags to try her hand
	Em                D
Says this might be my last chance
	         G           C                  D
She's gone country, look at them boots
		 G          C                 D
She's gone country, back to her roots
		 G          C                     D
She's gone country, a new kind of suit
		 Em        NC
She's gone country, here she comes

G						   C             D			(riff)
Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the village
G						  C                D			(riff)
He's been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege
G						C                        D			(riff)
He says I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin'
G				             C                  D			(riff)
Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan
	 Em                  D
I hear down there its changed you see
	     Em                           D
They're not as backwards as they used to be
	         G           C                  D
He's gone country, look at them boots
	         G           C                  D
He's gone country, back to his roots
	         G           C                  D
He's gone country, a new kind of suit
	        Em	    NC
He's gone country, here he comes

(Riff x 4)

G				      C              D			       (riff)
He commutes to L.A., but he's got a house in the valley
G						 C             D			    (riff)
But the bills are pilling up and the pop scene just ain't on a rally
G					               C                           D
And he says honey I'm a serious composer schooled in voice and
 			(Riff)
composition
G						        C                     D
But with the crime and the smog these days this ain't no place for
		(Riff)
children
	   Em                           D
Lord it sounds so easy, this shouldn't take long
      Em                            D
Be back in the money in no time at all
	         G           C                  D
He's gone country, look at them boots
	         G           C                  D
He's gone country, back to his roots
	         G             C                 D
He's gone country, a new kind of suit
	        Em         NC
He's gone country, here he comes

(Riff x 2)
	                G              C                  D
Yeah he's gone country, a new kind of walk
	         G             C                  D
He's gone country, a new kind of talk
	         G           C                  D
He's gone country, look at them boots
	         G                C               D
He's gone country, aw back to his roots

	         G           C                  D
He's gone country
	         G           C                       D
He's gone country                   everybody's
	 G           C                  D
Gone country                       yeah we've gone
G           C                           D
Country             the whole world's
G			C			D
