Intro: C C C C 

C               F            C 
New York is a long way from Texas  
             F              C 
Vegas is a long way from Abilene 
                          F           C 
I spend lots of my time flying out to LA 
                                                    G7                  C 
And if you've never been there you don't know how lonesome big towns can be 

 
C                          F            C 
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again  
                         F          G7 
To be with my people my man and my kids 
               C            F                       C 
To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama 
     F            C             G7          C 
Oh Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again 

C                       F             C 
To go walking down a country road at sunset 
                                  F               C 
And see colors you could almost touch right over head 
                     F                        C 
To hear the gentle breeze is blowing at the treetops 
                                   G7               C  
No out in the country there is no talk that God is dead 

 
C                          F            C 
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again  
                         F          G7 
To be with my people my man and my kids 
               C            F                       C 
To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama 
     F            C             G7          C 
Oh Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again 

     F       C             G7          C 
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
