Born
in
the country and I (G) like
that country (Em) smile
Of the
(A) little girls and boys, they re(G)mind
me of a (D) child
That I
knew and a (G) big
harvest (Em) moon
That
(A)
shone by suppertime in the
(G) dusty after(D)noon
And
I need
to (G) be there
When the
autumn wind goes (D) singing
through the trestle we would (A) climb
Like
(D) brave mountain(G)eers
We never
were much (D) bothered
by (Asus) time
(A7) (A9)
Born
in
the country and I like that country song
We played
for just a nickel every time we got to town
And I bought
you a dime diamond ring
In the
hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kings
And
I need
to be there
When the
world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind
Like brave
mountaineers
We never
were much bothered by time
Born
in
the country and I like that country way
Of the
uncles aunts and cousins and the card games they would play
While the
young ones slept overhead
Beneath
the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said
And
I need
to be there
When the
autumn wind goes singing through the trestle we would climb
Like brave
mountaineers
We never
were much bothered by time
And
I need
to be there
When the
world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind
Like brave
mountaineers
We never
were much bothered by time
