Thank God I'm a Country boy John Denver, written by John Martin Summers

A A D

1) Well life's on a farm is kinda laid back,

2) When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low

3) I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels,

4) Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died,

A G E7

1) ain't much an old country boy like me can hack.

2) I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow.

3) I never was one of them money hungry fools.

4) and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side.

A D

1) It's early to rise, early in the sack:

2) But the kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low:

3) I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools:

4) He said: "Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride,

A E7 A

1) Thank God I'm a country boy.

2) Thank God I'm a country boy.

3) Thank God I'm a country boy.

4) and thank God you're a country boy.

A D

1) A simple kind of life never did me no harm,

2) I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could,

3) Yeah, city folk drivin in a black limou sine,

4) My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle,

A G E7

1) raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm.

2) but the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good.

3) a lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen.

4) he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle.

A D

1) My days are all filled with an easy country charm:

2) So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should:

3) Well, folks let me tell you now exactly what I mean:

4) He taught me how to love and how to give just a little:

A E7 A

1) Thank God I'm a country boy.

2) Thank God I'm a country boy.

3) I thank God I'm a country boy.

4) Thank God you're a country boy.

A E7

Chorus: Well I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle.

A E7

When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle;

A D

and life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle:

A E7 A

Thank God I'm a country boy.
