Verse 
        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
                                      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
                         F
 	 We say grace and we say ma'am
               C                    G                  (riff)
 	 If you ain't into that we don't give a damn

Verse
        D                       Am7
 	 We came from the West Virginia coal mines
                G                       D
 	 And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
                                      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
                                Am7
 	 My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
            G                      D
 	 And his taught him to be a business man
                                           Am7
 	 He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
            G                 D
 	 And I'd send him some homemade wine
                                          Am7
 	 But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
            G                      D
 	 For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
                                          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..................

Verse
        D                              Am7
 	 Were from North California and South Alabam
            G                D
 	 And little towns all around this land
                                   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

no way is the intro correct have u even heard the song i think u did a pretty good job murdering it
-playboy669420 | 6/12/2005
yeeaaahh..man you pretty much f**ked that up... the intro is RE-GOD-DAMNED-DICULOUS
-Theonlycntryboy | 10/24/2005
Don't ever write a tab ever again.. this song should be in D.. just kill yourself
-NoFXer | 7/31/2008
Other than the intro being off this tab is fine. The chords are correct; and it is in shown in D. So morons who don't know music should not comment.
-diverden | 2/16/2009
The intro is off, but alot of people dont know how to actually play it, I got his song book and the chords in the intro are Am11, F6/A, and Dx. Hank Jr. plays alot of weird chords in his songs, to hard for me so I dont play it completly by the book. But the song part of this entry is close. AND IT IS IN THE KEY OF D!!!!
-djoneso | 1/18/2010
its actually tuned in drop d, and instead of am7's, c's sound better in the song
-catfish96 | 11/5/2010
Don't sweat the haters. The chords work for me playing my Ukulele and my son who plays acustic guitar with me, you did fine. Music is made to make your own, if they want to play it in another chord, cool let them. You helped me and my music needs, so kudos to you.
-Nooseg | 9/30/2012
Wow...you're all a bunch of dicks. If you're gonna be that rude about it...you don't belong playing country music.
