[Verse]
                                                 
 Goin' to the city         Got you on my mind
                                                       
 Country sure is pretty        I leave it all behind
                                                            
 This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time 'cause

[Chorus]
                                                    
 I'm a fool for the city      Fool for the city
                  CCC                    DDD 
 Fool for the city       Fool for the city

                             EEE EEE                    EEE EEE
 Breathin' all the clean air         Sittin' in the sun
                          EEE EEE                  EEE EEE
 When I get my train fare         I get up and run
                                                     
 I'm headed for the city     Air pollution here I come

(Chorus)

[Bridge]

                            AAAA 
 I'm like a fish out of water      I'm just a man in a hole
                                         
 The city lights turn my blues in to gold
                           AAAA  
 I ain't no country boy           I'm just a homesick man
                                            
 I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can

(Play the following at the end of lines 1 & 3 of bridge above)
E|-------------------8--------|

[Bridge-2]

                       AAAA  
 I ain't no country boy         I'm just a homesick man
                                             
 I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can

(2nd instrmental is also bass & drums)

                                                         
 When I see my inner city child I'll be walking on a cloud

(Repeat chorus and fade)
