[Verse]
            D                          Am7
        The preacher man says it's the end of time
                G                         D
        And the Mississippi River she's a goin' dry
            D                      Am7
        The interest is up and the stock market's down
                G                      D
        And you only get mugged if you go down town

        D                  Am7
        I live back in the woods you see
           G                          D
        My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
                D                      Am7
        I got a shotgun, a rifle and a four wheel drive
              G           A7     D
        And a country boy can survive
        C             G      D
        Country folks can survive

        D                  Am7
        I can plow a field all day long
              G                  D
        I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
           D                            Am7
        We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
              G                         D
        Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
                D                     Am7
        We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
              G           A7     D
        And a country boy can survive
        C             G      D
        Country folks can survive

[Chorus]
                    G                           F
        Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
              C                        G
        Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
        G                F
        We say grace and we say ma'am
               C                   G                  (Riff)
        If you ain't into that we don't give a damn

[Verse]
           D                      Am7
        We came from the West Virginia coal mines
                G                       D
        And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
            D                          Am7
        And we can skin a buck, we can run a trot line
              G           A7     D
        And a country boy can survive
        C             G      D
        Country folks can survive

          D                    Am7
        I had a good friend in New York City
           G                           D
        He never called me by my name, just HillBilly
           D                        Am7
        My Grandpa taught me how to live off the land
            G                      D
        And his taught him to be a business man

                   D                       Am7
        He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
            G                 D
        And I'd send him some homemade wine
                   D                      Am7
        But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
            G                       D
        For forty three dollars my friend lost his life

            D                             Am7
        I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dude's eye
               G                     D
        And to shoot him with my ole 45
                G           A7     D
        Cause a country boy can survive
        C             G      D
        Country folks can survive

[Chorus]
                    G                           F
        Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
              C                        G
        Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
        G                F
        We say grace and we say ma'am
               C                   G
        If you ain't into that we don't give a damn

[Verse]
                   D                    Am7
        We're from North California and South Alabam
            G                 D
        And little towns all around this land
            D                      Am7
        And we can skin a buck and run a trot line
              G           A7     D
        And a country boy can survive
        C             G/B    D
        Country folks can survive
          Am7         G      D
        A country boy can survive
        C             G/B    D     Am7     G     D
        Country folks can survive..................
