As recorded by George Jones (From the 1962 Album THE NEW FAVORITES OF GEORGE JONES) [Intro] C G C D [Verse 1]
  G            D                        G
I didn't think too much about books and schoolin'

                        D              G
'Cause there was more important things to do

         C                       G
I'd just sit out in the yard and pick my old guitar

                      D               G
Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do

        D                     G
I would sit there by the hour pickin' "Wildwood Flower"

C              G              D
Wore my little fingers to the bone

        G                              C
Well, I said I would never rest 'til I am the very best

    G           D                    G
The best guitar picker in this whole county
[Guitar Solo] G D G [Verse 2]
G                D                G
I said someday I know I'll win my fame

                D                  G
One day all the world will know my name

  C                   G
I worked so very hard with that old guitar

                      D               G
Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do

        D                             G
I would sit there all alone tryin' to pick out "Home Sweet Home"

C          G              D
While everyone was in the yard

        G                                 C
Well, I said I would never stop 'til I've reached the very top

    G           D                   G
The best guitar picker in the whole county
[Guitar Solo] G C G D G [Verse 3]
G                       D                 G
The years have passed I hav'nt changed my mind

                        D              G
'Cause I still pick the guitar all the time

  C                        G
Because I know someday I'm bound to learn to play

                   D               G
All the things the big hillbillies do

       D                           G
I just sit her in my shop pickin' "Foggy Mountain Top"

C            G               D
Tellin' everybody ain't that great

         G                           C
'Cause before I go to rest I'm gonna be the very best

    G           D                    G
The best guitar picker in this whole county
[Guitar Solo] G C G D G [Verse 4]
        D                     G
I would sit there by the hour pickin' "Wildwood Flower"

C              G              D
Wore my little fingers to the bone

      G                              C
But I said I would never rest til' I am the very best

    G           D                    G
The best guitar picker in this whole county
[Outro] G D G D
