Chords

Version from the 1993 album Jericho. Its melody is reworked from the originally written version "I'm Just a Country Boy" recorded by Don Williams in 1977, so these chords and some words are different. It appears on the album Jericho with the shortened title "Country Boy." Recorded on the album in A, but easier to play if transposed down to G with capo on 2. [Verse]
A             F#m    E    C#m7
I ain't gonna marry in the fall

               D  E7          A
Ain't gonna marry in the spring

Bm7                        A          F#m
Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl

Who wears a diamond ring

And I'mmmm   just a country boy

A  F#m       D
Money  have I none

But I've got silver, silver in the stars

Gold   in the morning sun
[Verse 2]
A                 F#m    E        C#m7
I'm never gonna kiss the ruby red lips

Of the sweetest girl in town

Bm7                         A      F#m
Never gonna ask her if she'd marry me

And gold in the morning sun
[Verse]
A                F#m    E           C#m7
I never could afford a store bought ring

        D           E7      A
With the sparkling diamond stone

Bm7                       A        F#m
All I have to offer is a love that's true

   D      Bm7   E7
The only one I know
[Chorus]
  A  F#m  Bm7          E7
'Cause I'm just a country boy

A         F#m       D
And money, money  have I none

Bm7         A       F#m         A/F#
But I've got silver, silver in the stars

Bm7          E7        A
And gold   in the morning sun

D          E7        A
Gold in the morning sun
