🎸 Intro:

Gm


🎸 Verse 1:
Gm
I got my first guitar when I was just a boy
Gm
I was playing the blues instead of playing with toys
A#                         C                     Gm
Listening to the Opry and dreaming of the neon lights
Gm
So it was late to bed and early to rise
Gm
I worked the field all day and the crowd all night
   A#                         C                G
My finger on the trigger and Nashville in my sights
            Dm                  C /E              Gm
Yeah, I'm a real thing singing songs about real life

🎸 Chorus:
      C                              Gm
And I never heard a fiddle called a violin
C                        Gm
Never really worried if I fit in
C                     Gm
Country ain't what I sing
            D
It's what I am
     C                      Gm
This hat ain't something I wear for style
      C                 Gm
These boots have been around a while
C                     D
Country ain't what I sing
            Gm
It's what I am


🎸 Verse 2:
Gm
I learned to drive on a red dirt road
Gm
Used to cruise the strip on Rock n Roll
A#               C                   Gm
Drove around on miles and miles of Texas
Gm
And as I grew daddy showed me how
Gm
To earn a living by the sweat of my brow
    A#                 C              Gm
And I'm damn proud to follow in his steps
        D                      C /E              Gm
He said work hard and let the good lord do the rest


🎸 Chorus:
      C                              Gm
And I never heard a fiddle called a violin
C                        Gm
Never really worried if I fit in
C                     Gm
Country ain't what I sing
            D
It's what I am
     C                      Gm
This hat ain't something I wear for style
      C                 Gm
These boots have been around a while
C                     D
Country ain't what I sing
            C
It's what I am
