    C - Am - F - C (2x)

 

              C              Am                       F                    C

1. I've been to California, where the ladies look so fine,

                      Am                           F            - Dm                                 G

    they could take a long-haired country boy      and softly bend his mind.

               C                         Am                        F                       C

    Made love in New York City where they dress in silk and pearls,

              F                                         Am

    But, Lord, I swear there's nothing anywhere

                F                   G         C     - C7

    that's better than a country girl !

 

               F                                                             C

‘Cause country girls are sweeter'n a tube full of honey,

          G                                                                C    - C7

and country girls are warmer than the Georgia sun.

              F

They know how to touch you, they know how to love you,

                                          C

take you right out of this world.

Am        G            F              - G               C

I'm so glad that God made        country girls !        +  C - Am - F - C

 

   C                                    Am                F                              C

2.   There's women in Chicago in their high rise penthouse rooms

Am                                       F                                     Dm                    G

   with fine champagne and other things you could drown in their perfume.

           C                                    Am              F                                  C

    But I'll take a night down in Mobile, just looking out across the bay

                  F                       Am             F                 G         C    - C7

    with a country girl lying next to me, taking my breath away.

 

+  CHORUS

 

               Am        G            F             - G               C      - Am - F - C

+  Yeah, I'm so glad that God made        country girls !
