Chords for John Denver- Thank God I'm a Country Boy

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't have
Early to ride, early in the sack
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well, a simple kinda life never did me no harm
Raisin' me a family and workin' on the farm
Days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
And the sun's comin' up with the cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country [F#m] boy
[A] When the work's all done and the sun's [Dm] set [A] low
Pull out my [G] fiddle and it's [D] rossin' up the [A] bow
Kids are [E] asleep, so I [D] keep a paddle low
[A] And thank God I'm a country boy
I play Sally Goodman all day, [D] if I could, [A] but I'm low
Then my [G] wife wouldn't take [D] it very good
So I fiddle when I [E] can, [Dm] work when I should

I never was [G] one of them money-hungry [A] fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and [D] my fun and jewels
[A] Thank God I'm a country boy
