I Was Country When Country Wasn't CoolCifra de Viola

G 
I remember wearing straight legged Levi's 
                                      C 
flannel shirts even when they weren't in style 
           G 
I remember singin' with Roy Rogers  
                                C             C7  
at the movies when the west was really wild 
      F                         Em 
I was listenin to the Opry when all of my friends 
             C                 C/B        Am   F 
were diggin' rock and roll and rythem and blues 
      Dm           G              C 
I was country when country wasn't cool 
 
I remember sittin' in the drive-in 
pullin' up and turnin' down George Jones 
I remember when no one was lookin' 
I was puttin' peanuts in my coke 
I took a lot of kiddin' cause I never did fit in 
now look at everybody tryin' to be what I was then 
I was country when country wasn't cool 
            G                           C 
Oooh, I was country when country wasn't cool 
      G                              C       C7 
I was country from my hat down to my boots 
F               Em 
I still act and look the same  
        C         C/B     Am  F 
what ya see ain't nothin' new 
      Dm           G              C 
I was country when country wasn't cool

     F                             Em 
They called us country bumkins for stickin' to our roots 
         C               C/B           Am                F 
I'm just glad we're in a country where we're all free to choose 
      Dm           G              C 
I was country when country wasn't cool 
 
*Chorus (w/ George Jones) 
 
Hey, I was country when country wasn't cool 
yeah and I was country from my hat down to oh my boots 
I still act and look the same  
what ya see ain't nothin' new 
Cause I was country when country wasn't cool 
Yeah, I was country when country wasn't cool
