G C G
I can see the sadness in your eyes
C G
Knowing that I'm going to leave
C D7 G Em
If I told you the reason you'd never understand
C D7
Cause the truth you never could see
G C
So I'm going back to the country roads
G
Back where the tall corn grows
C D7
Back where the stream is running free
G C G
Back where the air is clear back where I can hear
C D7 G
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
C G
I've enjoyed the sweetness of your smile
C G
And your soft touch that warms me when I'm cold
C D7 G Em
If you want me you can find me look down that country road
C D7
I'll be walking and looking for my soul
G C
So I'm going back to the country roads
G
Back where the tall corn grows
C D7
Back where the stream is running free
G C G
Back where the air is clear back where I can hear
C D7 G
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
C D7 G
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
