Key: A minor
Verse 1
Am
Dm
Am
As I went out one morning,
I was singing a country song.
I met a man with a microphone
and, he did me wrong.
He led me up a leafy glade
and, out a tape,
he took my country ditty down
E
Am
E
Am
before I could escape.
He took my song up to the city
and there he happened to meet
A publisher who cleaned it up
and gave the song a beat
So now it's on the hit parade
and now they're paying a fee
To that false young man with
the microphone
E
Am
E
Am
And nobody thinks of me
So all you pretty country girls
who love to frolic and play
Just keep your eye on your copyright,
whoever he may be
If his hand is on his microphone
E
Am
And not upon your knee you
How did you like the song?
