I'm Just A Country Boy chords by Don Williams

Chords with lyrics

Album: Country Boy
Released July 20, 1977
Written By: Fred Hellerman & Marshall Baker
Produced By: Don Williams

This is my interpretation with a great deal of "help" from my teacher Joe Kuykendall.

The first verse is strummed slowly, each chord only once. The subsequent verses have a
couple of additional chords that are left out in the first verse.

I ain't gonna marry in the fall

 Of the prettiest girl in town

With the sparkling diamond stone

The only one I own
