Ain't No Place for a Country Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][Asus4][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]I pack my clothes in a
[Em]cardboard [A]box and mama packed my [D]lunch
I walk down to the [G]highway[Em]
[G]and caught a trailway[A]s bus
[D]I woke up in the[Em] city ste[A]pped down
on the cur[D]b
To the strangest lookin' [G]people
and [A]sounds I've never heard
[D]

[Verse 2]
It ain't no place for a [Em]country boy,
[A]it ain't no place to [D]be
It might be fine for [Em]a city boy
[A]but it ain't no place for me[D]

[Verse 3]
I keep my nineteen [Em]dollars,
[A]stuck way down in [D]my shoe
It cost me seven [G]fifty for
a dirty sleepin' [A]room
[D]My window faced the all[Em]ey
and the [A]city smells [D]were strong
I couldn't sleep for [G]horns
[A]and sirens blowin' all night [D]long

[Verse 4]
It ain't no place for a coun[Em]try boy,
[A]it ain't no place to [D]be
It might be fine for [Em]a city [A]boy but
it ain't no place for [D]me[Bb]

[Verse 5]
[Eb]I didn't even both[Fm]er to unpack[Bb]
the clothes that [Eb]I brought
Some man paid me ten [Ab]dollars
for grandpa's pocket [Bb]watch
[Eb]I got off the [Fm]trailways bus,
[Bbm]the sa[Bb]me place I got on[Eb]
My head is full of [Ab]memories,
[Bb]walkin' down the road to home
[Eb]

[Verse 6]
It ain't no place for a [Fm]country boy,
[Bb]it ain't no place to b[Eb]e
It might be fine for [Fm]a city [Bb]boy but it
ain't no place for [Eb]me[B]

[Verse 7]
[E]It ain't no place for a cou[F#m]n try boy,
[B]it ain't no place to [E]be
It might be fine for [F#m]a city boy
but it ain't no place for me
