Capo 3
D/F# - 2X0232
[G]Livin' in the city
Ain't [D/F#]never been my [Em]idea of gettin' it [G]on
But the [G]job demands that you [D/F#]make new plans
Be[C]fore your big chance is [G]gone[C][G]
You get a [G]house in the hills
You're payin' [D/F#]everyone's bills
And they [C]tell you that you're gonna go [G]far
But in the [G]back of my mind,
I hear it [D/F#]time after time,
"Is [C]that who you really are?"
Chorus:
[C]Coun[D]try [G]boy, you got your [D/F#]feet in L.A.
But your [G7]mind's on Tennes[C]see
Lookin' [D]back, I can rem[C]ember the [G]time
When I [C]sang my songs for [G]free
[C]Coun[D]try [G]boy, you got your [D/F#]feet in L.A.
Take a [G7]look at everything you o[C]wn
But [G]now and [D]then, my [G]heart keeps [D]goin' [C]home
Talkin' on the telephone
Settin' up another day of people to meet
You've gotta do what's right
You've gotta spend the night
Stayin' in touch with the street
When you're surrounded by friends
They say the fun never ends
But I guess I'll never figure it out
'Cause in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is this what it's all about?"
Chorus and fade
