[Intro]
---------------------
D | Am 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G D    D                      Am
     The preacher man says it's the end of time
        G                      D
And the Mississippi River, she's a going dry
    D                      Am
The interest is up and the stock markets down
        G                    D
And you only get mugged if you go downtown
D                  Am
I live back in the woods, you see
   G                        D
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
        D                       Am
I got a shotgun and a rifle and four wheel drive
      G        Am7         D C             G        D
And a countryboy can survive,  country folks can survive

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D                     Am
I can plow a field all  day long
      G                D
I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn yeah
D                            Am
Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
      G                       D
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do
        D                     Am
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
    G        Am7         D C             G        D
And countryboy can survive,  country folks can survive

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
            G                         F
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
       C                          G
'Cause we're them ol' boys raised on shotguns
G              F
We say grace and we say ma'am
       C                        G
If you ain't into that, we don't   give a damn

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       D                   Am
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
        G                     D
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western skies
    D                          Am
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trot line
      G        Am7         D C             G        D
And a countryboy can survive,  country folks can survive
  D                    Am
I had a good friend in New York City
   G                        D
He never called me by my name just hillbilly
   D                        Am
My Grandpa taught me how to live off the land
    G                    D
And his taught him to be a business man
           D                       Am
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Nights
    G              D
And I  send him some homemade wine
           D                      Am
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
    G                           D
For forty three dollars, my friend lost his life
    D                          Am
I'd love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
    G               D
And shoot him with my ol' fortyfive
         G        Am7        D
'Cause a countryboy can survive
C             G        D
Country folks can survive

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
           G                         F
'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
    C                          G
And we're them ol' boys raised on shotgun
G           F
We say grace, we say ma'am
       C                        G
If you ain't into that, we don't   give a damn

[Outro]
---------------------
           D                Am
We're from North California and South Alabama
    G                    D
And little towns all around this land
D                          Am
We can skin a buck and run a trot line
      G        Am7         D C             G        D
And a countryboy can survive,  country folks can survive
Am7        G         D C             G
Countryboy can survive,  country folks can survive
D | Am7 | G | D
