Capo 3
Intro: (Em) (Bm) (C) (D) (2x)
(Em) (Bm)
There's a house fly swimming in my sweet tea
(C) (D)
Hey darlin' pass another Kerr jar to me
(Em) (Bm)
Butter drippin' off a biscuit, baby better take a bite
(C) (D)
Cantaloupe thumps like it's finaly ripe
(Em) (Bm)
Box fan on a lawn chair suckin' in swamp air
(C) (D)
Two hundred mile marker signs from no where
(Em) (Bm) (C) (D)
That's what country is
(Chorus:)
(G) (D)
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
(Em) (C)
It's a hide away bed in an old horse stall
(G) (D) (Am)-(Em)-(C)-(D)
Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss
(G) (D)
It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton
(Em) (C)
It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten
(G) (D) (Am)-(Em)
It's homemade peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
(C) (Em) (Bm) (C) (D)
That's what country is
(Same as first verse)
When the sun starts slippin' from the delta sky
And the last scarecrow tucks in for the night
Make a fire throw a blanket on the sandy bank
'Bout an hour till we feel the first catfish yank
Barefoot cane pole wavin' at the riverboats
They when they're gone take a dip in the moon glow
That's what country is
(Repeat Chorus with same chords from the first chorus)
(This is the Last chorus, play it at the same pace as the other chorus and with the same chords)
It ain't a jacked up truck that's never seen a pasture
It's cars pulling over for a no cab tractor
It's homemade peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
No, it can't be bought it's somethin' you're born with
That's what country is(x4)
