INTRO (Play Twice)

E, G, C, D


VERSE 1

          E                     G
There's a house fly swimming in my sweet tea
    C                         D
Hey darling pass another Kerr jar to me
       E                          G
Butter Dripping of a biscuit baby better take a bite
C                          D
Cantaloupe thumps like its finally ripe
    E                   G
Box fan on a lawn chair sucking in swamp air
C                       D
Two hundred mile marker signs from nowhere
E           G       C     D
That's what country is


CHORUS

           G              Dadd9
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
       E                  Cadd9
It's a hid-away bed in an old horse stall
    G                    Dadd9                      Aadd9, E, Cadd9, Dadd9
Two kids getting caught, stealing a boons farm kiss
           G                           Dadd9
It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton
       E                          Dadd9
It's a Jimmy Rogers song that was long forgotten
     Aadd9                           Dadd9 Cadd9
It's homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips
Dadd9
That's what country is


VERSE 2
         E                            G
When the sun starts slipping from The Delta sky
        C                    D
and the last scarecrow tucks in for the night
       E                         G
Make a fire throw a blanket on a sandy bank
         C                            D
Bout' an hour till' we feel the first catfish yank
E                        G
Barefoot and a cane pole waving at the river boat
C                            D
and when they're gone take a dip in the moon glow
E          G       C     D
Thats what country is


REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT INTRO FOR BRIDGE


CHORUS 2

           G                            Dadd9
It ain't a jacked up truck that's never seen a pasture
     E                       Dadd9
It's cars pulling over for a no-cab tractor
     Aadd9                           Dadd9 Cadd9
It's homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips
      Aadd9                Dadd9                 Cadd9
No it cant be bought, it's something you're born with
Dadd9
That's what country is
