Verse 
        D                             Am7
 	 The preacher man says its the end of time
                G                        D
 	 And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
        D                          Am7
 	 The interest is up and the stock markets down
                G                      D
 	 And you only get mugged if you go down town

        D                  Am7
 	 I live back in the woods you see
           G                          D
 	 My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
        D                             Am7
 	 I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
              G           Am7 D
 	 And a country boy can survive
        Am7           G   D
 	 Country folks can survive

        D                  Am7
 	 I can plow a field all day long
              G                  D
 	 I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
        D                               Am7
 	 We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
              G                         D
 	 Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
                                      Am7
 	 We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
              G           Am7 D
 	 And a country boy can survive
        Am7           G   D
 	 Country folks can survive 	 

Chorus 

                    G                           F
 	 Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
              C                        G
 	 Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
                         F
 	 We say grace and we say ma'am
               C                    G                  (riff)
 	 If you ain't into that we don't give a damn

Verse
        D                       Am7
 	 We came from the West Virginia coal mines
                G                       D
 	 And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
                                      Am7
 	 And we can skin a buck we can run a trot line
              G           Am7 D
 	 And a country boy can survive
        Am7           G   D
 	 Country folks can survive

        D                      Am7
 	 I had a good friend in New York City
           G                          D
 	 He never called me by my name just HillBilly
                                Am7
 	 My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
            G                      D
 	 And his taught him to be a business man
                                           Am7
 	 He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
            G                 D
 	 And I'd send him some homemade wine
                                          Am7
 	 But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
            G                      D
 	 For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
                                          Am7
 	 I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye
            G                     D
 	 And shoot em' with my ole 45
                Am7         G   D        
 	 Cause a country boy can survive
        Am7           G   D
 	 Country folks can survive
