Country Bumpkin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
He [G]walked into the bar
and parked his lanky frame
up[C]on a tall [G]barstool
And with a [D]long soft Southern drawl said
I'll just have a glass of anything that's [G]cool
A [G]bar room girl with hard and knowing eyes
slowly [C]looked him up and [G]down
And she [D]thought I wonder how on earth
That country bumpkin found his way to [G]town

[Chorus 1]
She said hello, country [C]bump[D]kin
How's the frost out on the [G]pumpkin?
I've seen some sights but, man,
[C]you're [D]somethin'
Where'd ya come from, country [G]bumpkin?

[Verse 2]
It was [G]just a short year later
in a bed of joy-filled [C]tears yet death-like [G]pain
In[D]to this wondrous world of many wonders
one more wonder [G]came
That same [G]woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of [C]love and tender[G]ness
As she [D]marveled at the soft and warm
and cuddly boy-child feeding at her [G]breast

[Chorus 2]
And she said hello, country [C]bump[D]kin
Fresh as frost out on the [G]pumpkin
I've seen some sights but, babe,
[C]you're [D]somethin'
Mama loves her country [G]bumpkin

[Verse 3]
Forty [G]years of hard work later
in a simple, quiet and [C]peaceful country [G]place
The heavy [D]hand of time had not erased
The raptured wonder
from the [G]woman's face
She was [G]lying on her deathbed
knowing fully well her [C]race was nearly [G]run
But she [D]softly smiled and looked
into the sad eyes of her husband and her [G]son

[Chorus 3]
And she said so long, country [C]bumpkin
[D]The frost is gone now from the pum[G]pkin
I've seen some sights
and life's [C]been [D]somethin'
See you later, country [G]bumpkin
[Repeat and fade]
