CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
A G D
[Verse 1]
D G Em
Born in the country and I like that country smile
A G D
Of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child
G Em
That I knew and a big harvest moon
A G D
That shone by suppertime in the dusty afternoon
[Chorus]
G
And I need to be there
D
When the autumn wind goes singing
A
Through the trestle we would climb
D G
Like brave mountaineers
D Asus4 A7 A9
We never were much bothered by time
[Verse 2]
D G Em
Born in the country and I like that country song
A G D
We played for just a nickel every time we got to town
G Em
And I bought you a dime diamond ring
A G D
In the hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kings
[Chorus]
G
And I need to be there
D
When the world gets too heavy
A
And the shadows cross my mind
D G
Like brave mountaineers
D Asus4 A7 A9
We never were much bothered by time
[Verse 3]
D G Em
Born in the country and I like that country way
A G D
Of the uncles, aunts and cousins and the card games they would play
G Em
While the young ones slept overhead
A G D
Beneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said
[Chorus]
G
And I need to be there
D
When the autumn wind goes singing
A
Through the trestle we would climb
D G
Like brave mountaineers
D Asus4 A7 A9
We never were much bothered by time
[Solo]
D G Em
A G D
D G Em
A G D
[Chorus]
G
And I need to be there
D
When the world gets too heavy
A
And the shadows cross my mind
D G
Like brave mountaineers
D Asus4 A7 A9
We never were much bothered by time
[Outro]
D G Em
A G D
D G Em
