Country Girl Tab

by Ray Lamontagne


Intermediate just because it involves a bar chord

*(?) indicates that I'm unsure of the lyrics, if you know them or have a guess I'd 
appreciate them in the comments section


Intro:       
              
             

(Verse 1)
             
Country Girl, Country Girl

                                 
If you don't mind, maybe we could give it a whirl

            ()                                        
Left my home and family for the sound of the rock 'n roll band

                                    
Been so long I can't recall where it all began


(Verse 2)
                 
Country Girl, the Southern kind

               
Tennessee on my mind

            ()                                    
Left my home and family for the soul in a rock 'n roll song

                                           
Just like you I could sure use someone to lean on


(Chorus)
                     
We made love upon the mesa(?)

                                
The desert sky, light a blaze in a rose(?)

                                             
I fell into her just like that leaf falls into water

                                  
Its just like stayin' lonesome I suppose(?)

      
I suppose


(Solo just play intro)

(Verse 3)
                   
Country Girl, your papa's pride

             
Dusty boots, easy smile

            ()                                  
Left my home and family for a life that ain't your choosin'

                             
Country girl don't throw no illusion

(Verse 4)
             
Country Girl, country girl

                      
Graceful as a sparrow, pretty as a pearl

            ()                                             
Left my home and all I've known for the road and the tale I can tell

                                                              
Lyin' here with you in the fire glow I'd swear you was an angel, angel

(Repeat Chorus)
