C/G                     F
All of my friends said "What's out in Cumberland?"
C/G                        G
"Gonna get lonesome when you get out to Cumberland"
C/G                     F
"Stay in the city, boy, winter is a wonderland"
C/G                 G
They all mean well, I will remember them

[Chorus]
C/G          F                        C/G          G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                       C/G      G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Verse 2]
C/G                              F
Wander through the holler, honey, wander through the glen
C/G                          G
Neighborly with fiddleheads, copperheads, and moccasins
C/G                          F
Build a little cabin, honey, throw a window in
C/G                                  G
Watch the breeze blowin' through the hickories and dandellins’

[Chorus]
C/G     F                       C/G          G
Oh boy get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                       C/G       G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Bridge]
C/G (mute)                       C/G    F   C/G
If you get there before I do
C/G (mute)                              C/G  F  C/G
Tell everybody I'm a 'coming too

C/G     G     C/G    F     C/G G C/G

[Verse 3]
C/G                              F
I know a pretty girl, she's the prettiest there's ever been
C/G             G
Wild as a weed, sweeter than a mandolin
C/G                       Fsus2
I ain't a handsome man but I bet she'd take me as I am
C/G                        G
I haven't met her yet but I bet she lives in Cumberland

[Chorus]
C/G     F                        C/G          G
Oh boy get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                        C/G       G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Verse 4]
C/G                                   F
So before you start talkin' 'bout the wonders of the world again
C/G                               G
The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, the places that I never been
C/G                           F
Take a little drive, take a little trip to heaven and
C/G                        G
Wonder for a while if it's paradise or Cumberland

[Chorus]
C/G     F                        C/G          G
Oh boy get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                        C/G      G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Outro]
C/G          F                        C/G          G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                        C/G      G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now
