[D] [A] [Em]
[A] [D]
The people in [A] the city call me [Em] country
Because
[A] of how I walk and talk [D] and smile
Well, I don't [C#m] mind [A] them laughing in [Em] the city
But [A] the country folks all say I'm a city [D] fad
[Bm]
[D] The fighting men [A] may say that I'm [Em] a coward
Because
[A] I never push no one [D] around
Gentle people [A] call me [Em] troublemaker
Because

[G]
Funny I [D] don't fit
[Em] [F#] Where have [G] all the [A] average people [D] gone?
Some biased people [A] point and call [Em] me sinner

The wealthy [A] people think that I [Em] am a hobo
[A] Lean and hungry writing [D] mournful songs
And the poor poor people [A] think I am [Em] rich man

To [B] simplify my birth life [E] and death and still my woman [B] thinks I'm all [F#m] important
[B] Like moon and sun and sea and sky [E] and breath
Yes, [A] it's funny.
I [E] don't fit
