Subject: RE: BACK IN THE COUNTRY


BACK IN THE COUNTRY 
As recorded by: Roy Acuff 
Written by: Edward Futch (aka Eddy Raven)
 
[I] When was the last time 
You got [IIm] up before the [V] Sun 
And watched while the Night and Day 
[IV] Melted into [I] one 
When was the last time 
You [IIm] really looked at [V] Rain 
Dripping down the gutter 
Splashing [IV] on the Window-[I] pane 
 
My fondest memories are tied around these things 
Sunday School, bedtime rules, Grandma's squeaky Swing 
Sneaking out behind the Barn, my love would meet me there 
Tripping in the hallway over Grandpa's rocking Chair 
 
CHORUS 
[I] Back In The Country-
Now I [IIm] know you're gonna [V] say 
Back In The Country-
Don't you [IV] wish that you had [I] stayed 
Back In The Country-
Where the [IIm] Roses still grow [V] wild 
Back In The Country-
Where you [IV] walked those country [I] miles 
 
When was the last time you saw Sundown thru a Tree 
Sitting on the front Porch in a cool evenin' Breeze 
When was the last time that you heard a Bobwhite song 
When was the last time, I'll bet it's been too long 
 
CHORUS
