            CAROLINE JONES

CAPO: 2nd FRET

INTRO:
A minorAm G+G C majorC C majorC G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G C majorC C majorC


VERSE:
    FF  C majorC    G+G
Oh my Daddy’s from Memphis
G+G      FF    C majorC  G+G
He used to hunt in Arkansas
 G+G      FF    C majorC    G+G
And then he moved to New York City
        A minorAm   FF C majorC G+G
That’s where he met my Mom

G+G       FF    C majorC   G+G  G+G
He wrote his Mom  and Dad a letter
 G+G     FF     C majorC     G+G
“I’ll be a millionaire by twenty-five”
G+G       FF     C majorC     G+G
I don’t know which one of us dreams bigger
      A minorAm  G+G  FF  C majorC G+G
I have his heart and drive


PRE-CHORUS:
 G+G   A minorAm       C majorC
And he always told me and my sisters
        FF    C majorC   G+G
When we were scared to bait a hook
 G+G        A minorAm      C majorC
Girls you don’t want to be no city slickers


CHORUS:
G+G     A minorAm G+G  C majorC
So I’m a country girl
       C majorC       G+G
I love the trees and the flowers
    C majorC      G+G
Those well-spent hours
    FF      G+G
Staring up at the stars

     A minorAm G+G  C majorC
Oh I’m a country girl
     C majorC      G+G
Though I live in the city
      C majorC       G+G
And those lights are so pretty
     A minorAm G+G C majorC C majorC G+G C majorC
But I’d happily rather be
    FF       G+G        C majorC  C majorC
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar

INSTRUMENTAL:
A minorAm G+G C majorC     C majorC G+G C majorC       FF  C majorC  G+G C majorC
   Mmm mm mm   Mmm mm mm  Mmm mmm mmm


VERSE:
    FF   C majorC   G+G
Oh my Grandma was a lady
      FF      C majorC     G+G
She always wore dress suits and pearls
        FF     C majorC  G+G
Our favorite treat was a ladyfingers
        FF  C majorC G+G
And I have her curls

    FF   C majorC    G+G
And my Mama’s from Australia
       FF    C majorC   G+G
And she grew up without a Dad
      FF    C majorC
And so she raised a hope
   G+G        A minorAm  FF C majorC G+G
That gave us what she never had


PRE-CHORUS:
      A minorAm      G+G    C majorC
And on the farm where I spent my childhood
    FF      C majorC   G+G
Riding horses and writing songs
     A minorAm     G+G
Oh, I’m still that child
       C majorC     FF C majorC G+G
And that’s still where I belong


CHORUS:
       A minorAm G+G  C majorC
‘Cause I’m a country girl
       C majorC       G+G
I love the trees and the flowers
    C majorC      G+G
Those well-spent hours
    FF      G+G
Staring up at the stars

     A minorAm G+G  C majorC
Oh I’m a country girl
     C majorC      G+G
Though I live in the city
      C majorC        G+G
And those lights sure are pretty
     A minorAm G+G C majorC C majorC G+G C majorC
But I’d happily rather be
    FF       G+G        C majorC  C majorC  C majorC
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar


OUTRO:
     A minorAm G+G C majorC  C majorC G+G C majorC
I would rather be, happily
    FF    C majorC   G+G        C majorC  C majorC
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar
