Well I grew [Dm] up _ [C] wild and [F] free
[Bb] Walking [F] these fields in [C] my bare feet
There wasn't no [Dm] place [C] I couldn't [F] go
With [Bb] a .22
[F] rifle and [C] a fishing [F] pole
Well I [Bb] live in [F] the city [C] but don't fit [F] in
[Dm] You know [Bb] it's a pity [C] the shape [F] I'm in
But I [Bb] got [F] no home [C] and I got no [F]
choice
[Dm] Oh Lord [Bb] have mercy [C] on a country _
_ [F] boy
_ When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I was [Dm] young I [C] remember [F] well
I'd hunt the wild turkey and [C] the bobwhite [F] quail
The river was [Dm] clear [C] and deep back [F] then
[Bb] Had fishing [F] lines tied to [C] the [F] willow limb
Well I [Bb] live [F] in the city [C] but don't fit [F] in
[Dm] You know [Bb] it's a pity [C] the shape [F] I'm in
But [Bb] I got [F] no home [C] and I got no [F] choice
[Dm] Oh Lord [Bb] have mercy [C] on a country _
_ [F] boy _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well they dammed [Dm] the river, [C] they dammed [F] the stream
They cut down the cypress [C] and the sweetgum [F]
trees
There's a [Dm] laundromat [C] and a [F] barbershop
And now the whole meadow [C] is a parking [F] lot
Well [Bb] I live [F] in the city [C] but don't fit [F]
in
[Dm] You know [Bb] it's a pity [C] the shape [F] I'm in
But [Bb] I got [F] no home [C] and I got no [F] choice
[Dm] Oh Lord [Bb] have mercy [C] on a country _
_ [F] boy _ _ _ _ _
