[Bridge]
G       D
There's a bird flying high
       G
Way up in the air
              C
And I am sitting here with you at my side
G    D   G
Way out in the country

         D
There's a lot of real big trees
D7       G
Rolling gently on the breeze
         C        G
And I am playing with the bumble bees
  D   G
Out in the country

         D7
Puffy clouds are in the air
         G
If it rains well we won't care
            C
'Cause you look good in your underwear
G    D   G       C
Way out in the country
