VERSE:
                    G
Long as there's an old truck

With a boat hitched up
 C                          G
Backin' down a ramp at the lake
                   G
Long as there's a back road

Fields of gold
       D
And a John Deere rollin' all day

                 G
Long as there's cold beer sittin' in a cooler
        C
And a Friday night in my future
                   G
Long as there's a band and a bar
        D                G   G
With a tip jar ready to play


CHORUS:
N.C.           G
Let there be country
                  C
Boots kickin' up dust
              D
Let there be neon light
       C                  G
And a sky full of stars above

              G
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
              C
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
              D
Let there be country
     C                G
For country boys like me


VERSE:
                 G
Long as there's haystacks

And Bass Pro caps
       C                    G
And a Redman ring on your jeans
                   G
Long as there's a heel, a toe, a do-si-do
          D
Cuttin' loose with your honky tonk queen

                  G
Long as there's trailers in the trailer parks
     C
And songs about broken hearts
                   G
Long as there's a barrel of whiskey
         D                G  G
Down in Lynchburg, Tennessee



CHORUS:
N.C.           G
Let there be country
                  C
Boots kickin' up dust
              D
Let there be neon light
       C                  G
And a sky full of stars above

              G
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
              C
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
              D
Let there be country
     C                G
For country boys like me

BDA K:
                 G
Long as there's good ole boys goin' fishin'
      F       C
Let there be country
                 G
Long as there's apple pie sittin' in the kitchen
      F       C
Let there be country
                   G
Long as there's a dog in a pickup bed
     C
And all of God's people said


CHORUS:
N.C.           G
Let there be country
                  C
Boots kickin' up dust

Let there be a neon light

And a sky full of stars above
