Chords for Aaron Lewis - Country Boy lyric video

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