Caroline Jones - Country Girl: chords

       G   D        A
Oh my Daddy’s from Memphis
A           G       D    A
He used to hunt in Arkansas
 A           G        D       A
And then he moved to New York City
                Bm      G  D  A
That’s where he met my Mom
A             G       D      A    A
He wrote his Mom  and Dad a letter
 A          G          D          A
“I’ll be a millionaire by twenty-five”
A              G          D          A
I don’t know which one of us dreams bigger
            Bm    A    G   D  A
I have his heart and drive

 A     Bm              D
And he always told me and my sisters
               G        D      A
When we were scared to bait a hook
 A               Bm            D
Girls you don’t want to be no city slickers

Chorus:
A         Bm  A   D
So I’m a country girl
             D             A
I love the trees and the flowers
       D           A
Those well-spent hours
        G           A
Staring up at the stars
          Bm  A   D
Oh I’m a country girl
          D           A
Though I live in the city
           D             A
And those lights are so pretty
         Bm A D  D  A  D
But I’d happily rather be
        G             A                D   D
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar

Oh my Grandma was a lady
She always wore dress suits and pearls
Our favorite treat was ladyfingers
And I have her curls
And my Mama’s from Australia
And she grew up without a Dad
And so she raised a home
That gave us what she never had

And on the farm where I spent my childhood
Riding horses and writing songs
I’m still that child
& That’s still where I belong

Chorus:
‘Cause I’m a country girl:
I love the trees and the flowers
Those well-spent hours
Staring up at the stars
Oh I’m a country girl
Though I live in the city
And those lights sure are pretty
But I’d happily rather be
Sitting on the porch picking my guitar

But I’d happily, rather be
Sitting on the porch picking on my guitar
