Country Boy Chords

Country Boy Aaron Lewis
 
 
 
Now I grew up down an old dirt road
        C                G
In a town you wouldnt know
            C                             G
My pop picked a place up for fifteen hundred bucks
       C   D
Back in 1964

My grandfather was a drinker
             C             G
Back in the day he put em down
        C              G
But a war is known to change a man
         C                  D           C        G
And the whiskeys known to change a man but.....
 
 
            C      D
Thats not me
         C                              G                C     D
I rarely drink from the bottle but Ill smoke a little weed
        C
I still live in the sticks where you wouldnt go
     C                              D
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
      C           G                C      D
And a country boy is all Ill ever be....

Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul
        C         G
To the devil in L.A.
        C                           G
He said sign your name here on the dotted line
         C                   D
And your songs they all will play
 
 
D
He set up shop on Sunset
          C              G
He put me up at the  Marquis
             C                    G
He said you want to sell a million records boy
C                    D
You better listen to me
 
 
         C                 B
He said change your style, whiten your smile 
          C             D
you could lose a couple pounds
            C
And if you want to live this life
            B
You better lose that wife
      C                 D
Do ya need your friends around?
 
 
            C   B               C     D
I said..          No thats not me
           C                              B               C        D
Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family
      C                    B
And I like my jeans and my old tshirts
     C                         D
and couple extra pounds never really hurt
      C           B                C      D
And a country boy is all Ill ever be....
 
 
       F                   G             D
Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
              F                                 G      D
Youll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45
             F                    G
I got a big orange tracker and a diesel truck
  D
My idea of heaven is chasing white tail bucks
          F             G             Am
And as a country boy I know I can survive
 
 
D
Now two flags fly above my land
            C            B
That really sum up how I feel
           C               B
One is the colors that fly high and proud
    C                   D
The red, the white, the blue
 
 
 D
The other ones got a rattlesnake 
        C               B
with a simple statement made
       C               B
"Don't Tread On Me" is what is says 
         C               D
and I'll take that to my grave
 
 
          C   B          C   D
Because.....    this is me
             C               B               C      D
Im proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
          C                 B
And Ive said it before but Ill say it again
        C                            D
Cause I never needed a government to hold my hand
          C                 B
And Ive said it before but Ill say it again
          C                                 D
Cause my familys always fought and died to save this land
      C           B                C      D
And a country boy is all I'll ever be....
