Country Boy Can Survive chords

The pre[D]acher man s[Am7]ays its the end of time
And the Mississ[G]ippi River shes a goin dr[D]y
The int[D]erest is up and the stock m[Am7]arkets down
And you only ge[G]t mugged if you go down[D] town

I live [D]back in the woods y[Am7]ou see
My woman a[G]nd the kids and the dogs an[D]d me
I got a[D] shotgun a rifle and a four wh[Am7]eel drive
And a country[G] boy can sur[Am7]vive [D]
Country[Am7] folks can survi[G]ve [D]

I can p[D]low a field all day[Am7] long
I can catch c[G]atfish from dusk ti[D]ll dawn
We make[D] our own whiskey and our own smo[Am7]ke too
Ain't too man[G]y things these ole boys ca[D]n't do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemad[Am7]e wine
And a country[G] boy can sur[Am7]vive [D]
Country[Am7] folks can survi[G]ve [D]

[CHORUS]

Because you can't s[G]tarve us out and you can't m[F]ake us run
Cause when th[C]em ole boy raised on shot[G]gun
We say grace and we say [F]ma'am
If you ain't i[C]nto that we don't giv[G]e a damn

We came[D] from the West Virginia [Am7]coal mines
And the Rocky M[G]ountains and the Western[D] Skies
And we can skin a buck we can run a t[Am7]rot line
And a country[G] boy can sur[Am7]vive [D]

Country[Am7] folks can survi[G]ve [D]
I had a[D] good friend in New Yor[Am7]k City
He never c[G]alled me by my name just Hi[D]llBilly
My GrandPa taught me to live of[Am7]f the land
And his tau[G]ght him to be a busines[D]s man
He used to send me pictures of the Broadwa[Am7]y Night
And I'd sen[G]d him some homemad[D]e wine
But he was killed by a man with a switch [Am7]blade knife
For forty t[G]hree dollars my friend[D] lost his life
I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that du[Am7]des eye
And shoot e[G]m' with my ole 45 [D]
Cause a country[Am7] boy can survi[G]ve [D]
Country[Am7] folks can survi[G]ve [D]

Chorus..................

Were fr[D]om North California and South A[Am7]labam
And little [G]towns all around [D]this land
And we can skin a buck and run a t[Am7]rot line
And a country[G] boy can sur[Am7]vive [D]
Country[Am7] folks can survi[G]ve [D]
Country[Am7] boy can survi[G]ve [D]
[Am7] [G] [D] [Am7]
C[D]ountry folks can survive................
