Buck Owens
Album: Tall Dark Stranger: The Buck Owens & The Buckaroos Recordings 1969-1975

D                           A7                 D
Those old cotton fields I worked in, ain't so far away
                       A7              D  
When I looked back it seems like only yesterday
     G                A7            D               G 
But with your help I find myself, miles away from there
D                   A7                  G      A7      D
  Thank you Lord   for answering this county singers prayer

D                              A7                D
Those old honky tonks and one night stands were good for me
                           A7              D
They brought me close to people and they helped me see
         G              A7             D                   G 
That an old guitar can take folks far away from all their cares
D                   A7                  G      A7      D
  Thank you Lord   for answering this county singers prayer

     G               A7        D
You gave me what I needed, to make my dreams come true
G                               E                  A7
  Call it faith or lucky breaks, It all comes from you
     D                   A7           D 
Now our planes about to land and the car will come
                            A7         G    D 
In a couple of hours we'll play the auditorium 
       G                  A7                 D                G
And I like to think that while I sing your watching from somewhere
D                       A7                  G      A7      D
  And Thank you Lord   for answering this county singers prayer

        G         A7              D                 G        
Now I gotta go to do my show for all the folks out there
D                     A7                  G      A7      D
  And Thank you Lord for answering this county singers prayer
