G C
Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
G D G
Ain�t much an old country boy like me can�t hack
G C
It�s early to rise, early in the sack
G D G
Thank God I�m a country boy
G C
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
G D G
A raisin� me a family and workin� on a farm
G C
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
G D G
Thank God I�m a country boy
D C
Well I got me a fine wife, I got me a fiddle
D C
When the sun�s comin� up I got cakes on the griddle
G C
Life ain�t nothin� but a funny, funny riddle
G
Thank God I�m a country boy
When the work�s all done and the sun�s settlin� low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I�m a country boy
Now I�d play Sally Goodin� all day if I could
But the lord and my wife wouldn�t take it very good
So I fiddle when I could, work when I should
Thank God I�m a country boy
Chorus
Well I wouldn�t trade my life for diamonds and jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I�d rather have my fiddle and my farmin� tools
Thank God I�m a country boy
Yeah, city folk drivin� in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin� �That�s a-mighty keen�
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Thank God I�m a country boy
Chorus
Solo chords change to key of A then drop back to G for the last verse and Chorus
Well, my fiddle was my daddy�s till the day he died
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
Said, live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you�re a country boy
My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
Thank God I�m a country boy
Chorus
Thank God I�m a country boy
