Album "Country Willie" released 1975 [Intro] A7 A7 D D [Verse 1]
    D                            G                  E7
You called me Country Willie the night you walked away

         A7                             D
With the one who promised you a life of joy

    D                          G               E7
You thought my life too simple - and yours was much too gay

   A7                             D
To spend it living with a country boy
[Verse 2]
   D                              G               E7
So I'm writing you this letter, I write you every day

  A7                                    D
I hope that you've received the ones before

         D                               G            E7
But I've heard not one word from you but every day I pray

     A7                               D
That you will not forget your country boy
[Chorus 1]
             G                       G
While you're living in the city with riches around your door

   D                                    A7
Is this your love, is this your kind of joy?

          D                      D7
Or do you find there's something missing?

          G         E7
Does your heart cry out for more?

    A7                                 D
And do you sometimes miss your country boy?
[Interlude] | A | A | D | D | [Verse 3]
  D                           G     E7
A cottage in the country with roses round the door

      A7                             D        A7
Could not compete with flashing city lights

         D             D7       G                 E7
But it's all I have to offer except for one thing more

  A7                                      D
A heart so filled with love that it could die
[Chorus 2]
          G                            G
Well it's time to end this letter, the light of dawn is near

  D                                       A7
A lonely night has passed but there'll be more

     D                             G                E7
Just one more thing in closing for all the world to hear

     A7                                   D     G  D
Come home, I love you signed your country boy
