Going To The Country Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Going to the count[Dm]ry
Where the [E]city cannot [Am]touch me
[A]No sound of [Dm]passing cars
No drunks from [Am]closing bars
You see [C]the stars each night
Far [Dm]from those city lights
And you [Am]fall asleep [Dm]to the sound
of peace and [Am]quiet
In [Dm]the city
My [E]heart
Its [Am]fears contained
I want to [A]set it [Dm]free again
Out on some [Am]prairie wind
Jack hammers [C]in my brain
Are slowly [Dm]driving me insane
So I'm [Am]going to the [Dm]country[Am][Dm]
Oh I'm [Am]going to the [Dm]country[Am]
In the [Dm]city
I [E]get the feeling something
[Am]isn't right
There's gunshots [Dm]every night
Dead bodies be[Am]neath the street light
And there's no [C]jobs that pay
So we can af[Dm]ford to get away
And [Am]go to the co[Dm]untry[Am][Dm]
[Am]Going to the [Dm]country
[Am]Yes[G][Am][C][G][Am][G][Am][C]
[G][Am][C][Bb][C][Bb]
[C][Bb][Am][E]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
And in the [Dm]country
[E]I will t[Am]hink of you
And that [E]city [Dm]life we knew
Everyday the [Am]danger grew
And how you [C]tried to care
But you got [Dm]used to living scared
Wasting [C]all your days
Amongst the [Dm]fear of baseball craze
Deaf [C]to the sound
Of another [Dm]building falling down
Blind to the [C]black man's blood
Being [Dm]covered up with mud
And the mississippi flood keeps on rising
Well I'm [Am]going[Dm][Am][Dm]
Yes I'm go[Am]ing[Dm][Am][Dm]
Oh I'm [Am]going to the [Dm]country[Am][Dm]
Well I'm go[Am]ing
Yes I'm [Dm]going
Now I'm go[Am]ing
Oh I'm go[Dm]ing[Am][Dm]
[Am]Going to the [Dm]country[Am][Dm]
[Am]Going to the [Dm]country[Am][Dm]
I'm [Am]going to the [Dm]country[Am]
[Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am][A][Dm]
Oh I'm [A]going to the country

[Outro 1]
[Dm][Dm][Am]
