Verse 1:
         A augmentedA   D MajorD
I came in here tonight
        A augmentedA
To do a little thinking
      A augmentedA
When I left home-I promised her twice
        E MajorE
"I ain't going drinking"
       A augmentedA        D MajorD
Then you walk in and knock me down
        A augmentedA         E MajorE
We could slip away, but in a few days
         A augmentedA
It'll be all over town

Chorus:
        A augmentedA     D MajorD       A augmentedA
But my country conscience will tell on me
        A augmentedA   BB    E MajorE
The roots of my raising run too deep
       D MajorD         C majorC     A augmentedA   D MajorD
Sometimes temptation can make a strong man week
        A augmentedA     E MajorE       A augmentedA
But my country conscience won't let me cheat


Interlude:
| A augmentedA   | E MajorE   | A augmentedA   | A augmentedA   |


Verse 2:
       A augmentedA   D MajorD
I started to leave
      A augmentedA
Then I hesitated
        A augmentedA
I looked in her eyes
           E MajorE
And I was "almost persuaded"
         A augmentedA             D MajorD
Then she took my hand but when she touched my ring
       A augmentedA         E MajorE
A augmentedA voice in my head, spoke up and said
              A augmentedA
"Son you're doing the wrong thing"


Chorus:
        A augmentedA     D MajorD       A augmentedA
But my country conscience will tell on me
        A augmentedA   BB    E MajorE
The roots of my raising run too deep
       D MajorD         C majorC     A augmentedA   D MajorD
Sometimes temptation can make a strong man week
        A augmentedA     E MajorE       A augmentedA    D MajorD
But my country conscience won't let me cheat


Tag:
      A augmentedA     E MajorE       A augmentedA
My country conscience won't let me cheat
