G C D
(riff)
She's been playing that room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
G C D
(riff)
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages
G C D
(riff)
She's been reading 'bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's buying
G C D
(riff)
Says I'm a simple girl myself grew up on Long Island
Em D
So she packs her bags to try her hand
Em D
Says this might be my last chance
G C D
She's gone country, look at them boots
G C D
She's gone country, back to her roots
G C D
She's gone country, a new kind of suit
Em/C
She's gone country, here she comes
2x riff
G C D
(riff)
Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the village
G C D
(riff)
He's been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege
G C D
(riff)
He says I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin'
G C D
(riff)
Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan
Em D
I hear down there it's changed you see
Em D
They're not as backwards as they used to be
[Refrão]
G C D
He's gone country, look at them boots
G C D
He's gone country, back to his roots
G C D
He's gone country, a new kind of suit
Em/C
He's gone country, here he comes
[Próxima Parte]
**Play Chorus (2x)
G C D
(riff)
He commutes to L.A., but he's got a house in the valley
G C D
(riff)
But the bills are piling up and the pop scene just ain't on a rally
G C D
(riff)
He says honey I'm a serious composer schooled in voice and composition
G C D
(riff)
But with the crime and the smog these days this ain't no place for children
Em D
Lord it sounds so easy, this shouldn't take long
Em D
Be back in the money in no time at all
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
2x riff
G C D
Yeah he's gone country, a new kind of walk
G C D
He's gone country, a new kind of talk

He's gone country, oh back to his roots
G C D
He's gone country

He's gone country
D G C
Everybody's gone country
D G C

D G C D G C D
The whole world's gone country
