Capo 1st
[Intro]
D Em7 G D
[Verse]
D A
Have you ever picked guitar on your front porch
G D
In the morning as the sun was risin'
A
Or followed your dog down to the river
G D
And ran into an ole’ baptizin'
G D
Do you think to pull off on the side of the road
G D
When that big black hearse is passin’
G D
Have you ever helped someone in need
G D
Without them even askin’
Em7 G D
We do that in the country, let me tell you 'bout country
[Chorus]
G D
Country can be in the middle of the city
G D
Country can be on a farm,
G D
Country ain’t even a place on the map,
Em7 A
It’s a place in your heart
[Verse]
D A
Would you ever hitch a ride to Music City
G D
Just to see an Opry show
Em7
Would you drive across the country
G D A G D
Just to listen to some country
[Bridge]
Em7 G D
[Chorus]
G D
Country can be in the middle of the city
G D
Country can be in a barn,
G D
Country ain’t even a place on the map,
Em7 A
It’s a place in your heart
[Verse]
D A
Have you ever been there at the courthouse square
G D
For the parade on the Fourth of July
D A
With a tear on your face and a lump in your throat
G D
As you watch old glory go by,
G D
Or sat through a service where they played taps
G D
For a soldier who never came home
G D
Or looked in the sad brown eyes of his momma
G D
As she touched his name on that stone
[Outro]
Em7 G D
He fought for his country and died for his country
Em7 G
Yea, I love my country
D
Let me tell ya 'bout country
