(Chorus):

E
I feel no shame
E
I'm proud of where I came from
      D        A                 E
I was born and raised in the boondocks
E
One thing I know
E
No matter where I go
          D         A               E
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

(Verse)

          Bm
And I can feel
     D                              E
That muddy water running through my veins
          Bm        D                     E
And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train
   D                  A
It sings to me and it sounds familiar

(Repeat Chorus)

          Bm
And I can taste
     D                             E
That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
        Bm
When it grows wild
D                             E
On the banks down at old camp creek
             D                  A
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

A                          E
It's where I learned about living
A                          E
It's where I learned about love
A                          E 
It's where I learned about working hard
    D                   A 
And having a little was just enough
A                          E
It's where I learned about Jesus
A                   E
And knowing where I stand
A                    E       D
You can take it or leave it, this is me
A            E
This is who I am

(Solo)    E - E - D - A - E




          Bm 
Give me a tin roof
  D                    E
A front porch and a gravel road
           D 
And that's home to me
              A 
It feels like home to me

(Repeat Chorus)

          D         A               E
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

No Guitar through this part...

You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

Repeat this last part 3 times.

E
You get a line, I'll get a pole
D                       A
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
(Down in the boondocks)

E
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
D         A      E   
Church on Sunday morning
