The people in this city call me country

   A                                 D
Because of how I walk and talk and smile

                         A/C#              Em
Well, I don't mind them laughing in the city

But the country folks all say I'm citified

Wealthy people think that I am a hobo

 A                                 D
Lean and hungry, writing mournful songs

                            A/C#        Em
And the poor, poor people think I am a rich man

     A                               D
But really, I'm just trying to get along

Tell me where have all the honest people gone?

         E              B/D#       F#m
And the government has given me a number

    B                              E
To simplify my birth and life and death

                     B/D#              F#m
And still somebody thinks I'm awful important

  B                               E
That's enough if she's all I got left
