Country Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I c[C]ame[G] up[C]on[G]
a boy who had [A]gone [D]astray
[G]He moved to the country and lived
there in patterns [C]of [D]disarray
[G]Sometimes [D]he would sing or if it
was spring he would [A]say
[G]I think I[D]'ll do my planting
[C]today[G][C][G]
Oh my country [D]boy,
[G]my hesitant joy[A][Am][G]
I love you more than the sun in the [C]sky
And the [G]oceans that color your eyes
[C]He [G]lived in a small house,[D]
faded from winter's cold
[G]He'd seen too much darkness
and lived there content
To fit to [D]his mold
[G]Sometimes he [D]would sing or if
it was spring he [A]would scold
I [D]must move quickly for I fear
[C]growing [G]old[C][G]
Oh my coun[D]try boy,
[G]my hesitant joy I love you more than the sun in the sky
And the oceans [D]that color
[G]your eye[C]s[G]
He spoke of years [C]gone past
[D]Like they were [A]his [D]old friends
[G]He'd seen days like rivers
And lived them in their own
Sways and [D]bends
Some[G]times [D]he would sing
Or if it was spring [A]he would send
Let[G]ter[D]s from his heart
Trying [C]to make [G]amend[C] s[G]
Oh my country boy
My hesitant [C]joy
[G]I love you more than the sun in the s[C]ky
And [D]the oceans that color [C]your [G]eye[C]s
[G]
