Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
The (D major) street I grew up
on was (G major) out in the (E minor) country
Between (A major) the mountain and the (D major) town
We dug holes to China,
played (G major) two (D major) -man baseball (E minor)
(A major) There were so few kids around (D major)
In (A major) the summer I picked blackberries
And (B minor) put them on the table
Out (E major) by the edge of the road (A major)
Every (D major) day I take those quarters
Left (G major) there (D major) in the bas (E minor) ket
I (A major) must have been eight years (D major) old
We built us a stockade
Out (G major) in (E minor) the backwoods,
we (A major) slept there on the
summer nights (D major)
We'd build us a campfire,
take a (G major) portable (D major) radi (E minor) o
Listen (A major) to the ballgames and the (D major) fights
In (A major) the morning we'd cook up
bacon and eggs (B minor) in a skillet
Eat (E major) up my band, head for home (A major)
Spend (D major) the day out
swimming down (G major) at Rocky Bot (E minor) tom
I (A major) must have been twelve years (D major) old
But (G major) I never knew when
I (C major) was a young (G major) man
How (D major) much I would someday recall (A major)
The days (D major) of my life, out (G major) in (D major) the (E minor) country
Now (A major) I want to remember
them all (D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (A major)
(D major)
Then I got me a job loadin'
(G major) peaches and apples (E minor)
I (A major) traded my bike in for a car (D major)
School was just about finished,
we'd (G major) go out with our (D major) girl (E minor) friends
I'd (A major) always take my guitar (D major)
And (A major) we'd go to the drive -in,
or maybe (B minor) build us a campfire
Around (E major) midnight we'd
take those girls (A major) home
Then we'd (D major) climb that mountain
and stay (G major) up (D major) there (G major) all (E minor) night
I (A major) must have been 18 years (D major) old
But (G major) I never knew when I (C major)
was a (G major) young man
How (D major) much I would someday recall (A major)
The (D major) days of my life out (G major)
(E minor) in (G major) the country (E minor)
Now (A major) I want to remember
them all (D major) (G major) (E minor) (A major)
(D major)
One day I went back home,
to the (G major) house of my fam (E minor) ily,
(A major) to help them retire to the south. (D major)
There were new streets all around
and an (G major) interstate high (E minor) way
An (A major) d too many houses to count (D major)
I said (A major) that's just the way
of the world (B minor) and its progress
The (E major) old ways can't forever hold (A major)
And we (D major) loaded up that car
and drove (G major) into the (E minor) distance
I (A major) must have been 28 years old (D major)
Now I see a young boy
Driv (G major) ing on a bi (E minor) cycle
Weaving (A major) his own way on down the road (D major)
His ear to a radio
A bas (G major) ket full of (D major) news (E minor) papers
Well (A major) you just can't imagine him old (D major)
An (A major) d I want to ask him
Have you (B minor) seen my old girlfriend?
(E major) Where do those blackberries grow? (A major)
Can you (D major) still see our house
from the (G major) top (D major) of that moun (E minor) tain?
(A major) Ah, but that was all so long (D major) ago
And (G major) I never knew
when I (C major) was a (G major) young man
How (D major) much I would someday re (A major) call
The (D major) days of my life,
out (G major) (D major) in the country (E minor)
Now (A major) I want to remember
them all (D major) (G major) (E minor) (A major)
(D major) you
Out in The Country
