Boy From The Country Chords by John Denver

_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Because _ _
[G] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ he _ _ _ called _ _ _ _ the forest brother.
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] Because he _
_ _ [C] _ called [D] _
_ _ the [G] earth his mother.
_ _ They _ _ _ _ [C] drove him out [G] _ _ _ [A] into [D] _ _ _ [G] the rain. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Some people even said [C] that [D] the boy from the country was [G] insane.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Because he [G] spoke _ _ _ _ _
to the fish in the creek. _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [G] He tried [D] to tell us _ _ _ _ _
that the animals could [G] speak.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] Who _ [Am] knows?
_ [D] _ Perhaps [G] they do. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] How do you know they don't?
Just because they've never spoken _ [G] to you.
_ _ _ The _
_ _ _ [D] _ _
boy from the [C] country _ [D] _
left his home when he was _ _ young.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _
The boy from the country _ _ _ _ loves _ _ the [Gm] sun.
_ [G] _
Yes he does.
Yes he [D] does.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _
He tried [G] to tell _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [Em] us [G] we should love the land. _ _ _
_ [Em] We _ [G] _
just [D] turned our heads and laughed. _
_ _ You see we did not [G] understand. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Sometimes I [G] think the boy [Am] from the country [D] is the only one [G] who sees. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _
The boy from the country _ doesn't want to see the forest or [G] the trees. _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ The boy from the country _
[Bm] _ left [D] his home when he [G] was _ _ [D] young. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ The boy from [Am] the country _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
loves [G] the sun. _ _
