Country life    (video)    (intro)

 

      C                                   F            G       C                  F  G

Oh, I like to rise when the sun, she rises, early in the morning,

C                                 F            G            C                        F   G

 I like to hear them small birds singing merrily upon their lay-land.

              C                            F         G  

And hurrah for the life of a country kid,

            C                    G               C       - G

and to ramble in the new mown hay.

 

                   C                             F           G

1. In the spring we sow, in the harvest mow,

              C                                    F              G

    and that’s how the seasons around they go,

               C                         F           G

    but of all the times, if choose I may,

              C                    G                C      - G

    it’s to ramble in the new mown hay.

 

+ CHORUS

 

                 C                       F        G

2. In the winter when the sky is gray,

          C                             F         G

    we edge and ditch our lives away.

    C                                       F                G

    In the summer when the sun shines gay,

                C                    G               C     - G

    we go ramble in the new mown hay.

 

+ CHORUS     + instumental = verse 2

 

+ CHORUS     + instrumental = CHORUS  + C
