She's been playing that room on the strip for ten years in Vegas

         G                     C        D             G D C 
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages

             G                                 C                 D
She's been reading 'bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's

         G D C 
buying

              G                  C        D            G D C 
Say's 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
[Chorus]
             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        N.C.
She's gone country, here she comes

           G                    C            D                 G D C 
Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the village

           G                       C           D                  G D C 
He's been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege

        G                               C         D                  G D C 
He says I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin'

       G                         C          D                  G D C 
Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan

     Em                 D
I hear down there its changed you see

        Em                  D
They're not as backwards as they used to be
[Chorus]
             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

            Em          N.C.
He's gone country, here he comes

    G                    C            D                G D C 
He commutes to L.A., but he's got a house in the valley

         G                           C        D                   G D C 
But the bills are piling up and the pop scene just ain't on a rally

              G                   C                   D
And he says honey I'm a serious composer,

             C              D    G D C 
schooled in voice and composition

               G                      C                 
But with the crime and the smog these days

                D                G D C         
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
[Chorus]
             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          N.C.
He's gone country, here he comes
[Riff] G D C x2 [Outro]
                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

             G      C             D
He's gone country, look at them boots   

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

             G           C          D
He's gone country

             G           C          D
He's gone country                   everybody's

         G           C              D
Gone country                       yeah we've gone

G           C           D
Country             the whole world's

G                       C                       D
