    The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars, 
                                                                                              E7 
    I've said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars, 
           A                                                                            E 
    The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars, 
                  B7                                    E 
    and I'm gonna be a country girl again. 

              E 
    I've spent my time in study, oh I've taken my degree, 
                                                                                  E7 
    I've memorized my formulae, my A's and B's and C's. 
               A                                                                                 E 
    But what I've know came long ago, and not from such as these, 
           B7                                   E 
    I'm gonna be a country girl again. 

                     E                 A                  E 
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again, 
                                                                                                      B7 
with an old brown dog, and a big front porch, and rabbits in the pen. 
               E                                                     A 
I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green, 
               E                 B7                E 
and I'm gonna be a country girl again. 

             E 
    I've wandered through the hearts of men, lookin' for a sign, 
                                                                                           E7 
    that here I might find happiness, I might find peace of mind. 
            A                                                                                           E 
   The one who taught my lesson was the south wind through the pines, 
                  B7                                    E 
    and I'm gonna be a country girl again. 

                     E                 A                  E 
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again, 
                                                                                                      B7 
with an old brown dog, and a big front porch, and rabbits in the pen. 
               E                                                     A 
I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green, 
               E                 B7                E 
and I'm gonna be a country girl again. 
                E                 B7                A       E 
And I'm gonna be a country girl again.
