Country girl    (video)    (intro)

 

    G - A - D

 

   D                                                                       A

1. I met you, my country girl, you didn't have a thing,

                                                       A7                      D

    I fell in love, I dressed you up, then I bought the ring.

                                                                              G

    I was teaching you to love, you were learning fine,

                                  D                                     A                                D

    then one day you learned too much, and it poisoned your sweet mind.

 

  D                                                                                 A

Now you've gone and left me, you're with somebody new,

                                            A7                                    D

but I wonder if you told him, I bought the clothes on you.

                                                                                         G

When you two are dancin', and you whisper soft and sweet,

                          D           - G                           A                  D

I wonder if you tell him,          I bought the shoes on your feet.

 

+ G - A - D

 

       D                                                                 A

2. Now I've lost my country girl to a city love affair,

                                                                 A7                    D

    he'd built you up, you fell for him, you didn't treat me fair.

                                                                                                         G

    You think that he's the dream come true, he says he loves you so,

                                  D                  - G                      A                   D

    but wait until the word gets out,        I taught you all that you know.

 

+ CHORUS
