_ _ _ _ I [G] remember wearing [Em] straight leg [G] Levi's, flannel shirts even when they [C] weren't in style.
_ _ _ I [G] remember singing with [Em] Roy [G] Rogers at the movies when the [C] West was really wild.
_ _ _ [F] I was listening to the Opry [G] with all of my friends.
We're [C] digging, rock and [Bm] roll and rhythm [Am] and blues.
[F] _ I was country _ [G] when [Em] country [C] wasn't cool.
_ _ _ _ I [G] remember circling the drive-in, pulling up and turning [C] down George Jones.
_ I [G] remember when no one was looking, I was putting peanuts [C] in my Coke.
I'm _ _ _ [F] not a kiddin' [G] cause I never did fit in.
[C] Can't look at [E] everybody [Am] trying to be what [F] I was then.
[Dm] I was country _ [G] when [Em] country [C] wasn't cool.
_ _ _ _ I [G] was country [Em] _ [G] when country [Em] _ [C] wasn't cool.
[Am] _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] [G] I was [Em] country _ [G] from my hat [Em] down to [D] my [C] _
[Am] boots.
_ [C] _ _ _ [F] I still act [G] and look the same, what [C] you see [E] ain't nothing [Am] new.
_ [F] I [Dm] was country when [G] country [Em] wasn't [C] cool.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ They [F] call us country bumpkins [G] for sticking to our roots.
I'm [C] just glad we're in a [E] country [Am] where we're all free to [F] choose.
I [Dm] was country _ [G] when [Em] country wasn't [C] cool. _
_ _ _ _ Hey, I [G] was country _ when country _ [C] wasn't [Am] cool.
_ [C] _ _ [Am] Yeah, [C] and I [G] was [Em] country [D] from [G] my hat down to my [C] _
boots.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] I still act [G] and look the same, what [C] you see [E] ain't nothing [Am] new.
[F] I [Dm] was country when [G] [Em] country wasn't [C] cool. _
