Intro
D Em7 G D

Verse
D                                 A
Have you ever picked guitar on your front porch
       G                      D
In the morning as the sun was risin'
                          A
Or followed your dog down to the river
        G               D
And ran into an ole’ baptizin'
       G                        D
Do you think to pull off on the side of the road
          G                   D
When that big black hearse is passin’
         G               D
Have you ever helped someone in need
    G             D
Without them even askin’
                  Em7      G                     D
We do that in the country, let me tell you 'bout country

Chorus
G                     D
Country can be in the middle of the city
G                   D
Country can be on a farm,
G                    D
Country ain’t even a place on the map,
Em7                  A
It’s a place in your heart

Verse
          D                    A
Would you ever hitch a ride to Music City
        G           D
Just to see an Opry show
                           Em7
Would you drive across the country
G                      D       A G D
Just to listen to some country

Bridge
Em7 G D

Chorus
G                     D
Country can be in the middle of the city
G                   D
Country can be in a farm,
G                    D
Country ain’t even a place on the map,
Em7                  A
It’s a place in your heart

Verse
         D                      A
Have you ever been there at the courthouse square
          G                       D
For the parade on the Fourth of July
D                              A
With a tear on your face and a lump in your throat
       G                  D
As you watch old glory go by,
G                                   D
Or sat through a service where they played taps
      G                      D
For a soldier who never came home
   G                       D
Or looked in the sad brown eyes of his momma
       G                        D
As she touched his name on that stone

Outro
                  Em7    G                 D
He fought for his country and died for his country
               Em7    G
Yea, I love my country
                             D
Let me tell ya 'bout country
