INTRO: A 
 
A                        E 
She don't love me for my money 
                                  A 
Come friday night half my money's spent 
 A                                  E 
Every time it rains the roof starts leakin' 
                                              A 
She don't love me for this shack where we pay rent 
D                   E       A      E 
Somethin' keeps her holdin' on so strong 

D       A                      D 
My Baby loves me because I'm country 
        A                             E 
And I'm confessin' it's runnin' in my veins 
D     D   A                 D 
I got the fever I'm a true believer 
A            E                 A 
She wouldn't have me any other way  
 
VERSE: 
 
A                        E 
She don't love me for my cookin' 
                                   A 
She tells me every time I burn the toast 
    A                                   E 
It's common knowledge that I'm not good lookin' 
                                             A 
When it comes to that I missed out more than most 
D                   E       A     E 
Somethin' keeps her holdin' on so strong 

D       A                      D 
My Baby loves me because I'm country 
        A                             E 
And I'm confessin' it's runnin' thru my veins 
D     D   A                 D 
I got the fever I'm a true believer 
A            E                 A 
She wouldn't have me any other way

My Baby loves me because I'm country 
        A                             E 
I think she knows now I'm never gonna change 
D     D   A                 D 
I got the fever I'm a true believer

I know she knows now it's runnin' in my veins
