Country Boy Chords by Aaron Lewis

[C#] Now I grew up down an old dirt road [B] in a town [F#] you wouldn't know
My pops picked the place up for
1,500 bucks back in _ [C#] 1964 _ _ _
_ _ Grandfather was a _ drinker back [B] in the day put [F#] him down _ _
But a [B] war is [F#] known to change a man and the whiskey is [C#] known to change a man
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
That's not [B] me _ [C#] I _ _ [B] rarely drink [F#] from the bottle but I'll smoke a little weed
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
Still [B] live in the [F#] sticks where you wouldn't go in a [B] town of
[C#] 1,200 off an old dirt road [B] and country [F#] boy is all I'll ever be
[B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
Now it's been 12 years since I sold my soul [B] to the devil
[F#] _ _ He _ [B] said sign your name [F#] here on the dotted line and your son
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
Set up shop on Sunset he [B] put me up [F#] at the _ marquee
He [B] said you wanna [F#] sell a million records boy
You better [C#m] listen to me
He [B] said change your [F#] style
Whiten your smile you could lose a [C#] couple of pounds
You [B] won't live this [F#] life.
You better lose that wife.
Do you [B] need your [C#] friend around?
said
[B] _ You [F#] _ _ know, that's not [B] me
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
[B] Cuz the biggest things in [F#] life are your friends and family
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
And [B] I like [F#] my jeans and my old t-shirts and a [B] couple extra [C#] pounds never really hurt
[B] Cuz the country [F#] boy is all I'll ever _ be
[C#] _ _ _ _
[E] Cuz Hank taught [F#] me just how to stay [C#] alive _ _ _ _ _
[E] Never catch me [F#] out the house without my 9 or [C#] 45
_ Got _ _ _ [E] a big old [F#] tractor and a diesel truck
_ [C#] My idea of heaven's decent white [C#m] tail
[E] No, _ _ _ [F#] _ I _ [G#] can't survive _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
Now two flags fly above my land and [B] really sum [F#] up how I feel _
_ One is the colors that fly high and proud the red the white [C#] the blue _ _
The other one's got a _ [F#] rattlesnake
[B] with a simple [F#] statement me _ _
Don't tread on me is what it says and I'll [B] take that [C#m] to my _ [C#] grave
_ [B] This _ [F#] _ _ _
is [B] me
[C#] I'm _ _ proud [B] to be [F#] American and strong in my belief
_ [C#] _ _ _
Said [B] it before [F#] but I'll say it again cuz [B] I've never needed [C#m] government to hold my hand
[B] _ [F#] But I'll say it again cuz [E] my family's always [C#] thought not to say this land [B] and a country [F#] boy
It's all I'll ever be
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [A#m] _ [E] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] [C#] I
Love my country.
I love my guns.
I love my family
I love the way it is now [G#] and anybody that tries to change it
Has to come through me.
[C#] I should be all of [G#m] our attitude is this is America [C#] and the country boys good enough for me, [F#m] son _
