Alan Jackson - Gone Country

From "Who I Am" (1994)
(Bob McDill)

INTRO:  [G]       [D]  [C]  (x4)

She's been [G]playing that room on the [C]strip
For [D]ten years in [G]Vegas   [D] [C]
Every [G]night she looks in the [C]mirror
But [D]she only [G]ages   [D] [C]
She's been [G]reading 'bout Nashville and all the [C]records
That [D]everybody's [G]buying   [D] [C]
Says I'm a [G]simple girl myself [C]
Grew [D]up on Long [G]Island  [D]  [C]
So she [Em]packs her bags to [D]try her hand
Says [Em]this might be [D]my last chance

CHORUS #1:
She's gone [G]country, [C]look at them [D]boots
She's gone [G]country, [C]back to her [D]roots
She's gone [G]country, [C]a new kind of [D]suit
She's gone [Em]country, here she comes

INTRO (1/2)

Well the [G]folk scene's dead
But [C]he's holding [D]out in the [G]village  [D] [C]
He's been [G]writing songs
Speaking [C]out against [D]wealth and [G]privilege  [D] [C]
He says [G]I don't believe in money
But a [C]man could [D]make him a [G]killin'  [D] [C]
Cause [G]some of that stuff don't [C]sound
Much [D]different than [G]Dylan  [D] [C]
I [Em]hear down there it's [D]changed you see
[Em]They're not as backwards as they [D]used to be

CHORUS #2:
He's gone [G]country, [C]look at them [D]boots
He's gone [G]country, [C]back to his [D]roots
He's gone [G]country, [C]a new kind of [D]suit
He's gone [Em]country, here he comes

He [G]commutes to L.A.
But [C]he's got a [D]house in the [G]valley  [D] [C]
But the [G]bills are pilling up
And the [C]pop scene just [D]ain't on a [G]rally  [D] [C]
He says [G]honey I'm a serious composer
[C]Schooled in [D]voice and compo[G]sition  [D] [C]
But with the [G]crime and the smog these[C] days
This ain't [D]no place for [G]children  [D] [C]
Lord it [Em]sounds so easy, this [D]shouldn't take long
Be [Em]back in the money in [D]no time at all

CHORUS #2

INTRO (1/2)

CHORUS #3:
Yeah, he's gone [G]country, a [C]new kind of [D]walk
He's gone [G]country, a [C]new kind of [D]talk
He's gone [G]country, [C]look at them [D]boots
He's gone [G]country, [C]back to his [D]roots

He's gone [G]country  [C] [D]
He's gone [G]country  [C] [D]
Everybody's gone [G]country  [C] [D]
Yeah we've gone [G]country  [C] [D]
The whole world's gone [G]country  [C] [D]
