Country Boy Can Survive Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Hank Williams Jr
  D                        Am7
  The preacher man says its the end of time
       G                        D
  And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
  D                      Am7
  The interest is up and the stock markets down
      G                      D
  And you only get mugged if you go down town
 D                Am7
  I live back in the woods you see
 G                          D
  My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
D                        Am7
  I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
    G           Am7   D
  And a country boy can survive
Am7           G    D
  Country folks can survive

D               Am7
  I can plow a field all day long
G                 D
  I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
  D                          Am7
  We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
    G                         D
  Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
       D                     Am7
  We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
    G           Am7   D
  And a country boy can survive
  Am7          G   D
  Country folks can survive


[Chorus]
           G                           F
  Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
    C                        G
  Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
G                 F
  We say grace and we say ma'am
     C                    G          D
  If you ain't into that we don't give a damn


 D                   Am7
  We came from the West Virginia coal mines
      G                       D
  And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
 D                         Am7
  And we can skin a buck we can run a trot line
    G           Am7   D
  And a country boy can survive

Am7           G    D
  Country folks can survive
      D              Am7
  I had a good friend in New York City
 G                          D
  He never called me by my name just HillBilly
  D                   Am7
  My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
  G                      D
  And his taught him to be a business man
          D                       Am7
  He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
  G                  D
  And I'd send him some homemade wine
         D                      Am7
  But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
   G                      D
  For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
          D                     Am7
  I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye
  G                     D
  And shoot em' with my ole 45
      Am7         G    D
  Cause a country boy can survive
Am7         G    D
  Country folks can survive


[Chorus]
        D                    Am7
  Were from North California and South Alabam
   G                D
  And little towns all around this land
  D                     Am7
  And we can skin a buck and run a trot line
     G          Am7   D
  And a country boy can survive
Am7         G    D
  Country folks can survive
Am7         G    D
  Country boy can survive

Am7  G D  Am7

D
  Country folks can survive
