(Capo on 3)

(Chorus)
When I die, (Am) I wanna come back as a (C)country boy
No, there (Am)ain't no better life if you ask (E)me
If my (Am)neck don't come out red, then Lord, (C) just keep me dead
'Cause a (D)country boy is all that (G)I know how to be |(Am) / / / |(Am) / / / |

(Verse)
My (Am)back is always breaking, my (C)dogs are always barking
My (D)money has trouble making and my (Am)truck has trouble starting
I'm (Am)up before the sun, either (C)hauling hay or hunting
My (D)work ain't ever done, but son, I (Am)wouldn't trade it for nothing
 
(Chorus)
So when I (Am)die, I wanna come back as a (C)country boy
No, there (Am)ain't no better life if you ask (E)me
If my (Am)neck don't come out red, then (C)Lord, just keep me dead
'Cause a (D)country boy is all that I know (C) how to (Am)be
 
(Verse)
Yeah, if (C)y'all ain't in my drawl and a (D)fish ain't on my wall
And the (Am)whiskey don't burn going down
My (C)feet ain't in a holler, and (D)blue ain't on my collar
(E)Leave my Hank-cranking, beer-drinking ass in the (Am)ground / / / |(Am) / /
 
(Chorus)
Yeah, (G)when I (Am)die I wanna come back as a (C)country boy
No, there (Am)ain't no better life if you ask (E)me
If my (Am)neck don't come out red, then (C)Lord, just keep me dead
'Cause a (D)country boy is all that I know (C) how to (Am)be

(Solo)
|(Am) / / / |(C) / / / |(Am) / / / |(E) / / / |

(Break)
When I (Am)die I wanna come back as a (C)country boy
Live on this (Am)land like my old man did before (E)me
I don't (Am)wanna be born into money, where the (C)boots don't ever get muddy
'Cause a (D)country boy is all that I know (C)how to (Am)be

(Chorus)
Yeah, when I (Am)die, I wanna come back as a (C)country boy
No, there (Am)ain't no better life if you ask (E)me
If my (Am)neck don't come out red, then (C)Lord, just keep me dead
'Cause a (D)country boy is all that I know (C) how to (Am)be
Yeah, a (D)country boy is all that I (C)know how to (Am)be / / / |(Am) / / / |(Am) - - - - -
