Back 40 Lover chords by Jared Pete Gile


Jared Pete Gile Chords

Back 40 Lover
By Jared “Pete” Gile
12/12/2008




Capo 1


G
Just a half full whiskey bottle and this old beat up guitar
            C                                      G
They’re the only two friends that I’m gonna need tonight
          F                                Am               G 
I’m gonna tell one my troubles and let the other wash them away
        C                        D                  G
After a little conversation everything’s gonna be alright


I’m just a country boy that’s been locked down by the handcuffs of a bigger town
I still feel guilty bout leavin Daddy on the farm
He told me to go on off to college and make your Momma proud
Cause in 5 years this little farm’s gonna be long gone


Chorus:
            C                         G  
I’m just an ol back 40 lover that got stuck on the other
            F              Am                 G 
Side of the fence and it’s got me feeling all wrong
            F                               Am             G
I’m just an ol back 40 lover didn’t take me too long to discover
         C                        D             G 
That the city ain’t where this ol country boy belongs


So, now I’m just a sittin here alternating shots with bottles of beer
Acting plumb crazy, getting all drunk and loud
With an average of 5 nights a week down in Aggieville, I can’t seem to shake this guilt I feel
Sorry Daddy, I don’t think I’m makin Momma proud

Chorus

With a little luck I guess I’ll get a degree but it’ll just be another piece of paper to me
An education’s never made anybody more of a man
But a little hard work and sweat on your back, hell some of these boys ain’t ever heard of that
But you can bet I’m damn proud of the calluses on my hands


Bridge:
    Em                  D                     C
I’m talking about clear water and spring fed fishing holes
    Em            D             C
The sunset on the leaves in the fall
        Em                 D                   C
How the open countryside becomes a little part of your soul
        C                                          D
And how working alongside your family might be the best part of all


Chorus


I said the city ain’t where this ol country boy belongs
