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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
