I am just a country boy    (video)

 

   G                                                - C                     D                  G

1.    I ain't gonna marry in the fall,     ain't gonna marry in the spring,

D                                           G            Em           C                       D

    ‘cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl who wears a diamond ring.

 

G                        - C                 G                           C

    And I'm just a        country boy, money have I none,

Am                  D       - G            Em    - C          - D                          G

    but I've got silver        in the stars,        gold        in the morning sun,

C          - D                           G

    gold        in the morning sun.

 

 G                                 - C                      D   - C              D                  G

2. I'm never gonna kiss      the ruby red lips      of the prettiest girl in town,

D                                                  G     Em  - C                                     D

    never gonna ask her if she'd marry me,       I know she'd turn me down.

 

G                             - C                 G                           C

    ‘Cause I'm just a        country boy, money have I none,

Am                  D       - G            Em    - C          - D                          G

    but I've got silver        in the stars,        gold        in the morning sun,

C          - D                           G

    gold        in the morning sun.

 

    G                                  - C                         D

3.     I never could afford       a store bought ring

C                                 D            G

    with the sparkling diamond stone,

D                                      - G              Em   - C                          D

    all I could afford was a        loving heart,        the only one I own.
