F          C                 F
Well I was raised out in the country
     C                    G7
Just outside a real small town
              C         F
And just like any other young boy
G7                               C
All my life I dreamed of gettin’ out

                      F
I've been down to the city
       C                  G7
It's a real nice place to see
           C              F
Well I got too much rebel in me
  G7                             C
I gotta be somewhere where I can breathe

                A#7        F
You can take me out of the country
C                        G7
Miles from where I wanna be
        C       A#7        F
You can take me out of the country
        G7                           A#7
But you can't take the country outta me

C                F
Hurry home to my woman
         C                    G7
Big blue eyes and long blonde hair
               C              F
And we'll make love way until mornin’
    G7                     C
And tell the world I don't care

                A#7        F
You can take me out of the country
C                        G7
Miles from where I wanna be
        C       A#7        F
You can take me out of the country
        G7                           A#7
But you can't take the country outta me

                A#7        F
You can take me out of the country
C                        G7
Miles from where I wanna be
        C       A#7        F
You can take me out of the country
        G7                           A#7
But you can't take the country outta me

        C       A#7        F
You can take me out of the country
        G7                           C
