[Verse 1]

G+G
I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
   G+G                C majorC       D MajorD
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
G+G
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
  C majorC      B minorBm       A minorAm       G+G
The call of the city life kept going through my mind
       C majorC     B minorBm       A minorAm      G+G
Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind

[Verse 2]

G+G
It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground
G+G                C majorC        D MajorD
Pa said, the time had come when I could move to town
   G+G
So I kissed goodbye to mama, held on tight to papa's hand
 C majorC       B minorBm       A minorAm      G+G
I saw a tear in mama's eye but I did not understand
       C majorC    B minorBm        A minorAm        C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G
'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land

[Chorus]

G+G    C majorC      D MajorD
Goodbye mama, let me see your smile
D MajorD       B7B7        E minorEm
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
 C majorC     A7A7      DsusDsus
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
     Dsus7   D MajorD       C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G
I got to go but I hate to say goodbye

G+G    C majorC       D MajorD
So long, papa, I'll be seeing you
D MajorD         B7B7      E minorEm
But I'll be coming home again someday
    C majorC    A7A7       DsusDsus
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
     Dsus7    D MajorD        C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G
A augmentedA country girl, you know, I'll always stay

[Verse 3]
