       THE CITY PUT THE COUNTRY BACK IN ME         -    NEAL MCCOY  
       (4/4 Steady Country Blues Swing beat)



        [VERSE 1]
              E
        I was born dirt poor   on a dead end   country road.
                                                   B
        My every dream was to just  grow up    and go.
              E                                        A
       Like a siren song  those bright lights  call my name.
             E                    B                   E
       So, I turned  that country road    into memory lane.


       [VERSE 2]
              E
       Well I hit that fast lane,  it was paved  with gold.
                                                       B
       But it wasn’t long  till my highbrow   ways got old.
                E                                         A
      I started missin’ things   that I thought  I left behind.
             E                  B                      E
      Till I found  two swingin doors   beneath a neon sign.


      [CHORUS]
                 A                                                 
      They were wirlin and a twirlin  
                                       E
      to the fiddle's and the steel guitars.
           E                                 B
      Them city folk  was drinkin from mason jars.
        E                                  A
      I think I found  what paradise might be.
          E             B                E
      The city  put the country  back in me.


      [INSTRUMENTAL VERSE]  -  [STEEL GUITAR AND GUITAR SOLO]  
             E     E      E     E
             E     E      B     B
             E     E      A     A
             E     B      E     E
 
      [VERSE 3]
                 E
      When you leave this farm,  

      you don't have to clean your wounds.
                                                                                      
      Just go on home 
                                 B
      and slip off   them cowboy boots.
                   E                                                              
      Now it's the best of both worlds  
                    A
      all I'll ever need.
          E            B                E
      The city put the country  back in me.


      [CHORUS]
                 A                                                 
      They were wirlin and a twirlin  
                                       E
      to the fiddle's and the steel guitars.
           E                                 B
      Them city folk  was drinkin from mason jars.
        E                                  A
      I think I found  what paradise might be.
          E             B                E
      The city  put the country  back in me.
 
                E             B                 E  
      Yeah the city  put the country   back in me.
