AAD 1 Well life's on a farm is kinda laid back When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low 3 I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels Well my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died
AGE7 1 ain't much an old country boy like me can hack I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow 3 I never was one of them money hungry fools and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
AD 1 It's early to rise early in the sack But the kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low 3 I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools He said Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
AE7A 1 Thank God I'm a country boy Thank God I'm a country boy 3 Thank God I'm a country boy and thank God you're a country boy
AD 1 A simple kind of life never did me no harm I'd play Sally Goodin' all day if I could 3 Yeah city folk drivin in a black limou sine My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
AGE7 1 raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm but the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good 3 a lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
AD 1 My days are all filled with an easy country charm So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should 3 Well folks let me tell you now exactly what I mean He taught me how to love and how to give just a little
AE7A 1 Thank God I'm a country boy Thank God I'm a country boy 3 I thank God I'm a country boy Thank God you're a country boy
AE7 Chorus Well I got me a fine wife I got me old fiddle AE7 When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle AD and life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle AE7A Thank God I'm a country boy
