Intro: D G D A D Bm G A D
[D]Well I grew up [A]wild and [D]free
[G]Walkin- these [D]fields in m[A]y bare [D]feet
[D]There wasn-t no place [A]I couldn-t [D]go
With a [G]twenty-two [D]rifle and a [A]fishing [D]pole
CHORUS:
Well I [G]live in the [D]city but [A]don-t fit i[D]n
You [Bm]know its a [G]pity the [A]shape I-m [D]in
Well I g[G]ot no [D]home and I [A]got no [D]choice
Oh [Bm]Lord, have [G]mercy on a [A]country [D]boy
Fill: G D A D Bm G A D
When [D]I was young I re[A]member [D]well
I-d [G]hunt the wild [D]turkey and the [A]bob-white [D]quail
The [D]river was clear and [A]deep back [D]then
And [G]fishin- lines [D]tied to the [A]willow [D]limb
Chorus
Well they [D]dammed the river, they [A]dammed the [D]stream
They [G]cut down the [D]cypress and the [A]sweet gum [D]trees
There-s a [D]laundra- mat and a [A]barber [D]shop
And [G]now the whole [D]meadow is a[A] parkin- [D]lot
Chorus 2X
