Hey mama,
[F#m] [D]
here's a letter from [G] your son.
[Em]
Well [G] I think my city days [A] are done long,
[D] And [C] it ain't been three [G] weeks [D] since I came.
[A] Hey mama, [D] [C#m]
[C] I do remember [G] what you said.
[E]
[Em] Say [G] your prayers before you go [D] to bed, son,
[C] And remember [G] city women ain't the [D] same.
I'm [C] like a John Deere tractor [G] in a half acre field,
[B] Trying to plow a furrow [E] where the soil is made of steel.
Oh I [A] wish I was [D] home [A] where the bluegrass is grown,
And the sweet [E] country girls [A] don't complain.

So [F#m] [F] much perfume I thought [G] I'd drown,
[Em]
[F#] And the Lord [C#]
[G] didn't seem to [D] be nowhere around.
Hey [C] I fell like [G] a flower [A] from the [D] vine,
Oh she [C] was pretty, Lord knows,
[G] Thought that she would bring [D] me joy.
[C] She laughed, [G] she called me [Dm] country boy [D] ballroom.
[C] And after [G] she had been [D] so kind,
I'm [C] like a John Deere tractor [G] in a half acre field,
[B] Trying [F#m] to plow a furrow where [E] the soil is made of [E] steel.
Oh [A] I wish I [D] was home where [A] the bluegrass is [D] grown,
[A] And the firelight [E] [A] shimmers and shines.
