[G]
[A] [E]
[A] [E] What an old country I am!
The [D] Camusians got a lot of grays
They got style and bread and wine
[A] But they're not mine
[E] You know what I like
[G] [E]
[A] [E] What an old country I am!
I [D] may belong in Tujan Jaw
But I got a lot of nerve
When it [A] comes to an angel [E] boy
Pray for me
[Em] [A]
[E] [A] [E]
What an old country I [A] [E]
am!
I'm [D] on a choir singing in the aisles
And the moon's up over the [A] steeple
I might just [E] turn into a poor weevil
And creep up on you with my beef [Em] jerky
[F#m] Maybe [E] [G#m] [C#]
[F#] [A] we're gonna shave him dry
[G] You don't know what a shave him dry is?
You'll [Am] learn
[E] [A]
After that's done
[G]
I'll just close your eyes [F#] baby
And think of it
[Gm] Well [Em] [Bm]
why [A] not always keep my socks on?
