capo 3rd fret

intro ( play twice )

E , G , C , D

verse 1

E G
there’s a house fly swimming in my sweet tea
C D
hey darling pass another kerr jar to me
E G
butter dripping of a biscuit baby better take a bite
C D
cantaloupe thumps like its finally ripe
E G
box fan on a lawn chair sucking in swamp air
C D
two hundred mile marker signs from nowhere
E G C D
that’s what country is

chorus

G Dadd9
it ain’t a rebel flag you bought at the mall
E Cadd9
it’s a hid – away bed in an old horse stall
G Dadd9 Aadd9 , E , Cadd9 , Dadd9
two kids getting caught , stealing a boons farm kiss
G Dadd9
it ain’t a john deere cap that’s never fell in the cotton
E Dadd9
it’s a jimmy rogers song that was long forgotten
Aadd9 Dadd9 Cadd9
it’s homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips
Dadd9
that’s what country is

verse 2
E G
when the sun starts slipping from the delta sky
C D
and the last scarecrow tucks in for the night
E G
make a fire throw a blanket on a sandy bank
C D
bout’ an hour till’ we feel the first catfish yank
E G
barefoot and a cane pole waving at the river boat
C D
and when they’re gone take a dip in the moon glow
E G C D
thats what country is

repeat chorus

chorus 2

G Dadd9
it ain’t a jacked up truck that’s never seen a pasture
E Dadd9
it’s cars pulling over for a no – cab tractor
Aadd9 Dadd9 Cadd9
it’s homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips
Aadd9 Dadd9 Cadd9
no it cant be bought , it’s something you’re born with
Dadd9
that’s what country is
