Tell a Country Boy
Written by Neal Coty & Jon Henderson
Recorded by Rodney Atkins

Intro.:  (D) x 4 measures

Now (D)he ain't much for talkin', but he means (Em)every word he says
And that (G)color on his arms and neck ain't from no tanning (D)bed
(D)Leaves no doubt 'bout where he stands on a (Em)Chevy or the Lord
Yeah, you can (G)always tell a country (D)boy, yeah | (D) ---

Now (D)his idea of heaven is home sweet (Em)home east Tennessee
But for a (G)girl like you he would pull up roots
And move (G)down the (F#)road a (Em)piece(D)
He'll (D)always take his own sweet time, if (Em)you give him a choice
Yeah, you can (G)always tell a country boy (D)

(Chorus)
Yeah, (G) you can always (D)tell him but (A)you can't tell him (D)much
'Cause (G)all he's ever (D)gonna be is (A)who he always was
A (Bm)cross between his (A)old man and his (G)momma's pride and joy
(F#) You can (Em)always tell a (G)country boy (D) | (D) ---

He'll go (D)off and take a long walk when he (Em)needs some time to think
Might (G)even let you drive his truck when he's (G)had too (F#)much (Em)to (D)drink
'Bout as (D)true blue as Old Glory waitin' (Em)out there on the porch
Yeah, you can (G)always tell a country boy (D)

(Chorus)
Yeah, (G) you can always (D)tell him, but (A)you can't tell him (D)much
Some-(G)times his gears'll (D)turn so slow, you (A)swear they're gonna rust
From the (Bm)way he bangs that (A)old guitar to the (G)gravel in his voice
(F#) You can (Em)always tell a (G)country boy (D)

(Bridge)
You can (C)drag him from the country every (Bm)now and then
But (Em)you can't drag 'em forty acres (A)out of him

(Chorus)
Yeah, (G) you can always (D)tell him, but (A)you can't tell him (D)much
He's (G)on a fence about a (F#)lot of things, but on (A)you his mind's made up
'Cause he (Bm)swears there's nothin' (A)sweeter than the (G)sweet sound of your voice
(F#) You can (Em)always tell a (A)country boy (Bm)

What-(A)ever's on your (G)heart
(F#)Now come (E)on and tell this (A)country (D)boy

Outro.:  (D) x 4 measures
