Where the [D]air is [G]good and the [D]day is [G]fine
And the [D]pretty [G]girl has her [D]hand in [G]mine
And the [D]silver [G]stream is the [D]poor man’s [Bm]wine
In the [Em]country, in the [G]country [A7]


When you’re [D]walking in the [D7]city
and you’re [D7]feeling rather [B7]small
And the [Em]people on the [Em]sidewalk
seem to [Em7]form a solid [A7]wall
You’re gonna [D]find me, [G]ba,ba,ba [D]Bah
[G]out in the [D]country [G]ba,ba, ba [D]Bah
[G]You’re gonna [D]find me, [G]ba,ba,ba [D]Bah,

Where the [D]air is [G]good and the [D]day is [G]fine
And the [D]pretty [G]girl has her [D]hand in [G]mine
And the [D]silver [G]stream is the [D]poor man’s [Bm]wine
In the [Em]country, in the [G]country [A7]


[D]Hurry, hurry, hurry, for the [F]time is slipping by
[D]You don’t need a ticket, it be[F]longs to you and [A7]I
Come out and [D]join me, [G]ba,ba,ba [D]Bah,
yeah [G]out in the [D]country [G]ba,ba,ba [D]Bah


Where the [D]air is [G]good and the [D]day is [G]fine
And the [D]pretty [G]girl has her [D]hand in [G]mine
And the [D]silver [G]stream is the [D]poor man’s [Bm]wine
In the [Em]country, in the [G]country [A7]


[D]Bah, ba ba ba bah, ba ba ba bah, ba ba ba bah,
