CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO:] G F C
[VERSE 1:]
F C Dm
Born in the country and I like that country smile
G F C
Of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child
F C Dm
That I knew and a big harvest moon
G F C
That shone by suppertime in the dusty afternoon
[CHORUS:]
F
And I need to be there
C
When the autumn wind goes singing
G
Through the trestle we would climb
C F
Like brave mountaineers
C G
We never were much bothered by time
[VERSE 2:]
C F C Dm
Born in the country and I like that country song
G F C
We played for just a nickel every time we got to town
F C Dm
And I bought you a dime diamond ring
G F C
In the hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kings
[CHORUS:]
F
And I need to be there
C
When the world gets too heavy
G
And the shadows cross my mind
C F
Like brave mountaineers
C G
We never were much bothered by time
[VERSE 3:]
C F C Dm
Born in the country and I like that country way
G F C
Of the uncles, aunts and cousins and the card games they would play
F C Dm
While the young ones slept overhead
G F C
Beneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said
[CHORUS:]
F
And I need to be there
C
When the autumn wind goes singing
G
Through the trestle we would climb
C F
Like brave mountaineers
C G
We never were much bothered by time
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F C Dm G F C F C Dm G F C
[CHORUS:]
F
And I need to be there
C
When the world gets too heavy
G
And the shadows cross my mind
C F
Like brave mountaineers
C G
We never were much bothered by time
