G             C               G 
I can see the sadness in your eyes 
             C            G 
Knowing that I'm going to leave 
     C            D7           G          Em 
If I told you the reason you'd never understand 
C                               D7 
Cause the truth you never could see 

             G           C 
So I'm going back to the country roads 
G 
Back where the tall corn grows 
C                                D7 
Back where the stream is running free 
G              C            G 
Back where the air is clear back where I can hear 
    C             D7         G 
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep 

                 C                 G 
I've enjoyed the sweetness of your smile 
                         C                 G 
And your soft touch that warms me when I'm cold 
       C               D7           G                 Em 
If you want me you can find me look down that country road 
C                                  D7 
I'll be walking and looking for my soul 

             G           C 
So I'm going back to the country roads 
G 
Back where the tall corn grows 
C                                D7 
Back where the stream is running free 
G              C            G 
Back where the air is clear back where I can hear 
    C             D7         G 
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep 

    C             D7         G 
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
