A Weekend In The Country Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
With [C]golf and tennis round you
and no cares to howl you
When Mother Nature [G]beckons,
who can [C]decline?
[G]Till Mother Nature
[C]vetoes the bees and mosquitoes
[Em]Mother Nature is no [B]mother [G]of mine
From Saturday [C]night to [D]Monday morn,
there's always [G]joy ahead
From Saturday night to [D]Monday morn,
I [C]wish that I were [G]dead[C][D][C]
[G]A weekend in the c[C]ountry
never will let you down.
[A]You'll pardon my up[Am]rontry,
I'd [D]rather spend it in town.
[G]A weekend in the cou[C]ntry
healthy and full of sport.
[B]And [E]then it isn't [B]small potatoes
when you get those fresh [C]tomatoes.
[E]I've a [B]list of [C]fresh toma[F]toes
[C]su ing me now in [D]court.
[C]Oh, give me the mil[G]k from the moo cow[C].
Of corn right from the field I'm fond.
[Bbdim]In town,[D]
I'd be splur[A]gin' [D]on venison
and stur[Am]gin' [C]beside a beautiful [G]pawn.
A [C]weekend gets you sunburned,
vitamin A you [Bb]win.
I'd rather [A]get back unburnt
[Am]with [D]my original skin.
[C]A weekend in the country,
[A]glorious, there's no dou[D]bt.
A [C]weekend in [Am]the country,
[D]what's the [G]next train [C]out?[D][C]
A [C]weekend in the country,
trees in the orchard call.
When [A]you've examined one tree,
[D]then you've examined them [G]all.
A [C]weekend in the country,
happily we endorse.
[B]Come [E]get your share
of nature's [B]bounty.
Ride the trail around the county.
I am no Canadian Mountie,
[E]why do I [C]need a horse?[G]
[C]Hark!
Hark to the song of the bullfrog.
At dawn, you rise up with [A]the lark.
When [D]roosters run riot,
I much prefer the quiet of [C]42nd [G]and 4th.
Get [C]happy and alive -y,
don't be a city poke.
I once got poison [D]ivy.
Will you try for poison oak?
[C]A w[Am]eekend in the c[C]ountry.
Stinky birds [D]overhead.
A [C]weekend in the country,
[Am]I sh[F]ould have st[C]ood in
bed.
[F][C][Am][C]
