Country Boy - Aaron Lewis | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     C#sus2                                   Badd9                 F#6
Well I     grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn't know
        Badd9                   F#6                        Badd9          C#sus2
My pops picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks back in nineteen sixty four  
                                         Badd9               F#6
My grandfather was a drinker back in the day  he put 'em down
      Badd9            F#6               Badd9               C#sus2
But a war  is known to change a man and the whiskey is known to change a man, yeah

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Badd9 F#6             Badd9 C#sus2
            That's not me
         Badd9                 F#6                     Badd9 C#sus2
I rarely drink from the bottle but   I smoke a little weed
        Badd9              F#6
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go
     Badd9                  C#sus2
In a town of twelve hundred off   an old dirt road
      Badd9      F#6                   F#6 Badd9 C#sus2
And a country boy      is all I'll ever be

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         C#sus2                                         Badd9      F#6
Now it's been  twelve years since I sold my soul to the devil in L.      A.
        Badd9                F#6                         Badd9               C#sus2
He said "sign your name here on    the dotted line and your songs they all will play" 
   C#sus2                             Badd9          F#6
He set   up shop on sunset, he put me up   at the marquee
             Badd9      F#6             Badd9                  C#sus2
He said "you wanna sell million records boy     you better listen to    me"
        Badd9              F#6                   Badd9                    C#sus2
He said "change your style,      whiten your smile, you  could lose a couple of    
pounds
            Badd9               F#6                        Badd9             
You want to live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends 
C#sus2
around?"

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       Badd9 F#6                Badd9 C#sus2
I said,            no that's not me
           Badd9                  F#6                       F#6 Badd9 C#sus2
'Cause the biggest things in life are   your friends and family
      Badd9         F#6
And I like my jeans and   my old tshirts
      Badd9               C#sus2
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
         Badd9      F#6                   F#6 Badd9 C#sus2
'Cause a country boy      is all I'll ever be

[Bridge]
---------------------
       E5                  F#5              C#sus2
'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
             E5                                F#5               C#sus2
You'll never catch me out the house without my nine or forty five
        E5                       F#5
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
C#sus2
My    idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks
         E5              F#5               G#sus2
And as a country boy you know I can survive

[Verse 3]
---------------------
    C#sus2                                    Badd9        F#6
Now two   flags fly above my land that really sum  up how I      feel
Badd9              F#6
One  is the colors that  fly high and proud
    Badd9               C#sus2
The red, the white, the blue  
    C#sus2                              Badd9           F#6
The other ones got a rattlesnake with a simple statement      made
       Badd9       F#6                         Badd9           C#sus2
"Don't tread on me"      is what it says and I'll take that to my grave 

[Outro]
---------------------
        Badd9 F#6          Badd9 C#sus2
Because,            this is me
             Badd9         F#6                    Badd9 C#sus2
I'm proud to be   American and   strong in my beliefs
         Badd9          F#6
And I've said it before but   I'll say it again
            Badd9              C#sus2
'Cause I've never needed government  to hold my hand
         Badd9          F#6
And I've said it before but   I'll say it again
          F#6 Badd9             C#sus2
'Cause my family always fought and died  to save this land
      Badd9      F#6                   Badd9 C#sus2 Badd9 F#6 C#sus2
And a country boy      is all I'll ever be
