You're lookin at country

Key: AEasy

(A) Well, I like my lovin' done country style

And (D) this little girl would walk a country mile

To (A) find her a good old slow-talkin' country (E) boy,

I said a country boy (E7)

I'm (A) about as old-fashioned as I can be

And I (D) hope you're likin' what you (A) see

'Cause if you're lookin' at (E) me

You're lookin' at (A) country.

You don't (D) see no city when you look at me

'Cause, (A) country's all I am

I love (D) runnin' bare-footed through the old corn fields

And I (D/F#) love that country (E) ham-ha-ham (E7)

Well, you (A) say I'm made just to fit your plans

But does a (D) barnyard shovel fit your (A) hands

If your eyes are on (E) me

You're lookin' at (A) country.

This here country is a little green

And there's a lot of country that-a you ain't seen

I'll show you around if you'll show me a weddin' band

I said a weddin' band

When it comes to love, well, I know about that

Country folks

If you're lookin' at me

You're lookin' at country.

In a cabin on a Ehill in Butcher A7Holler

We were Dpoor, but we had love

That's the Gone thing that daddy made Dsure of

He shoveled coal to A7make a poor man's Ddollar.

DMy daddy worked all Gnight in the Vanleer Dcoal mine

All day long in the Efield a-hoin' A7corn

Mommie rDocked the babies at night

And read the GBible by the coal-Doil light

And ever'thing would A7start all over come Dbreak of morn'.

EbDaddy loved and raised eight kids on a Abminer's Ebpay

Mommie Fscrubbed our clothes on a Bb7washboard ever' day

Why, I've Ebseen her fingers bleed

To Abcomplain there was no Ebneed

She'd smile in Mommie's Bb7understanding Ebway.

In the Ebsummertime we Abdidn't have shoes to Ebwear

But in the Fwintertime we'd all get a brand new Bb7pair

From a Ebmail order catalog,

Money Abmade from sellin' a Ebhog

Daddy always managed to Bb7get the money Ebsomewhere.

Yeah!, I'm Eproud to be a Acoal miner's Edaughter

I Fremember well - the B7well where I drew water

The Ework we done was hard

At nAight we'd sleep 'cause we were Etired

I never thought of ever B7leaving Butcher EHoller.

Well, a Elot of things have Achanged since way back Ethen

And Fit's so good to B7be back home again

Not Emuch left but the floor

Nothing Alives here anyEmore

Except the mem'ries of a B7coal miner's Edaughter
