E                     G
 I have an image of a place somewhere

    A                 D/A
Of spacious blues and grace to spare

E                        G
 In my heart I'd love to take you there

  F#m            A    Bm
T'would make me smile

          G        F#         Bm          C  B
And we'll gather forever in a country mile
[Verse 2]
E                         G
 This city living getting worse with time

       A                  D/A
Though first you try to rehearse your lines

E                             G
 Till all at once it's like a nursery rhyme

   F#m       A    Bm
It wakes the child

          G        F#         Bm
Makes you gather forever in a country mile

      G        F#            Bm
As we travel together down a country mile
[Chorus]
Bm  A     D                          F#m
We  could sit on the fence until the cows come home

        Am                      G
But the world's just passing us by

           Gm                         D
Doin' our scarecrow dance beneath the great unknown

Em                C   B
All I'm asking is why?
[Instrumental] | E | G | A | D/A | | E | G | F#m A | Bm | [Pre-Chorus]
      G        F#            Bm
As we travel together down a country mile
[Chorus]
Bm  A     D                          F#m
We  could sit on the fence until the cows come home

    Am                     G
But life's just passing us by

           Gm                         D
Doin' our scarecrow dance beneath the great unknown

Em                C   B
All I'm asking is why?

C   B
 Ah
[Verse 3]
E                       G
 I have a vision of us, windows down

    A                      D/A
The radio blasting all our sins around

E                               G
 As from within I've heard that lonesome sound

     F#m       A            Bm
From where the flowers grow wild

      G         F#            Bm
I can feel love growing for a country mile

      G        F#            Bm
As we travel together down a country mile

        G        F#         Bm
We will gather forever in a country mile
