Chord/Tab song: Country Bumpkin

He walked up to [C]the bar and parked his

Lanky [C7]frame up[F]on a tall bar[C]stool

And with a [G7]long soft southern drawl said

I'll just have a glass of anything that's [C]cool


[C]A barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes

[C7]Slowly [F]looked him up and [C]down

And she [G7]thought I wonder how on earth

That country bumpkin found his way to [C]town


And she said [C7]hello country [F]bumpkin

[G7]How's the frost out on the [C]pumpkin

I've seen some [C7]sights but man you're [F]something

[G7]Where'd you come from country bum[C]pkin


[C]It was just a short year later in a bed

Of [C7]joy-filled [F]tears yet death-like [C]pain

In[G7]to this wondrous world of many wonders

One more wonder [C]came


[C]That same woman's face was wrapped up

In a raptured [C7]look of [F]love and tender[C]ness

As she [G7]marveled at the soft and warm

And cuddly boy child feeding at her [C]breast


[C]And she said hello country [F]bumpkin

[G7]Fresh as frost out on the [C]pumpkin

I've seen some [C7]sights but babe you're [F]something

[G7]Mama loves her country [C]bumpkin


[C]Forty years of hard work later

In a simple [C7]quiet and [F]peaceful country [C]place

The heavy [G7]hand of time had not erased

The raptured wonder from the woman's [C]face


[C]She was lying on her death bed

Knowing fully [C7]well her [F]race was nearly [C]run

But she [G7]softly smiled and looked into

The sad eyes of her husband and her [C]son


[C]And she said so long country [F]bumpkin

[G7]The frost is gone now from the [C]pumpkin

I've seen some [C7]sights and life's been [F]something

[G7]See you later country [C]bumpkin
