[Verse 1]
    D                           G                 E7
You called me Country Jimmy the night you walked away
A                     A7            D    A7
With one who promised you a life of joy
    D
You thought my life's too simple
    G             E7
And you were much too gay
   A                 A7             D    D7
To spend that livin' with a country boy

[Verse 2]
             G
While you're livin' in the city with riches at your door
D                                      A     A7
Is this your love is this your kind of joy
           D                      D7
How do you find there's something missin'
          G                 E7
Does your heart cry out for more
A                A7                D
Do you sometimes miss your country boy

[Verse 3]
    D                       G                 E7
I'm writing you this letter I write you every day
A                  A7               D    A7
I hope that you received the ones before
         D
But I've heard not one word from you
G               E7
And every day I pray
     A               A7               D    D7
That you will not forget your country boy

[Verse 4]
          G
Well it's time to end this letter the light of dawn is near
D                                         A     A7
A lonely night has passed but there'll be more
     D                             G                E7
Just one thing more in closing for all the world to hear
     A               A7                  D
Come home I love you signed your country boy
