My Country Conscience

| A     | E     | A     | A     |


[Verse 1]
                  A      D
I came in here tonight
               A
To do a little thinking
            A
When I left home-I promised her 
twice
               E
"I ain't going drinking"
              A               D
Then you walk in and knock me down
               A                
We could slip away, but in a few 
 E
days
                  A
It'll be all over town


[Chorus]
               A         D        
But my country conscience will 
     A
tell on me

                A      B        E
The roots of my raising run too deep
              D                
Sometimes temptation can make a 
 C          A     D
strong man week
               A         E        
But my country conscience won't 
     A
let me cheat

[Verse 2]
             A      D
I started to leave
           A
Then I hesitated
                A
I looked in her eyes
                     E
And I was "almost persuaded"
                 A                 
Then she took my hand but when she 
        D
touched my ring
              A                 
A voice in my head, spoke up and 
 E
said
                            A
"Son you're doing the wrong thing"


[Chorus]
               A         D        
But my country conscience will 
     A
tell on me
                A      B        E
The roots of my raising run too deep
              D                
Sometimes temptation can make a 
 C          A     D
strong man week
               A         E        
But my country conscience won't 
     A       D
let me cheat


[Tag]
           A         E             
My country conscience won't let me 
A
cheat
