Text File

This song is actually a true story of Ray and a doubting redneck. The intro chords: Am7-G-D The Am7 is on the 1 (obviously)and the G on 3 and the D comes in slightly early on the "and" before the next 1. (Upstroke) Repeat twice before the verse entrance. www.rayscott.com the verses are sung in a talking style like Johnny Cash "boy named Sue". Am7 G D verse: There's a lotta small towns in this world, Am7 G D Just like the one that I came from. Am7 G D Where any dream you have is just a dream. Am7 G D It ain't nothin' that could truly be done. Am7 G D Well I'm gon' tell y'all a little story Am7 G D 'Bout the day I set out to leave. Am7 G D As I was loadin' up and sayin' my goodbyes Am7 G D some redneck einstein said to me Am7 G D "Well I see ya' packed up your suitcase, Am7 G D And I seen ya' throw it in the truck. Am7 G D Headin' off to the big town are ya? Am7 G D Hmmph! Well son I wish ya' luck. Am7 G D Now I don't mean to bust your bubble... Am7 G D But boy, the way your thinkins' wrong. Am7 G D Go on out and chase that foolish dream of yours. Heh! Am7 G D You'll be back before too long. Chorus:(changes a little more to singing style) Am7 G D 'Cause you a plowboy! You ain't no city boy! Am7 G D Wo you were born with dirty hands Am7 G D Yeah you a plowboy and your thinkin' silly boy! Am7 G D Just tryin' to make you understand. Am7 G D Verse 2: What you better do is put them overalls back on. Am7 G D Go on out and fix that ol' barn door. Am7 G D Keep your far fetched fantasies to yo'self Am7 G D And fetch a load of feed down at the country store. Am7 G D Better yet, go on! Have at it. Am7 G D Go see how high you can fly. Am7 G D But you best be back when that green leaf comes in, boy! Am7 G D We gonna need your help come July! Repeat chorus and then play chorus chords 4 times without words and at the end of the measure play an E or E7 instead of D. Am7 G D Verse 3: Well here I am a few years later. Am7 G D Sure come a long way from that old farm. Am7 G D I got stocks and bonds and a house with a cement pond Am7 G D Got a genuine rolex on my arm Am7 G D Well I'd like to ask him what the taste of crow is like. Am7 G D See him face the fact that he was wrong. Am7 G D You see, I always knew where I was headed Am7 G D But I never forgot where I was from... Yeeeeah.. Am7 G D Chorus 2: I'm a plowboy. I ain't no city boy Am7 G D Whoa I was born with dirty hands. Am7 G D Look at me now, boy! Sho' is a pretty boy! Am7 G D I could'nt make ya' understand Am7 G D Go milk that cow boy! And that wood needs splittin' boy Am7 G D And ya' best get back to bailin' hay! Am7 G D Yeah I'm a plowboy but now look whos' silly boy! Am7 G D From now on be careful what you say... ya' hear?
