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
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
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?
A A D D
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
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
