City dweller successful fella Bm Thought to himself: "Oops, I've got a lot of money" D (DbBass) Db I'm caught in a rat race terminally A I'm a professional cynic E But my heart's not in it Bm I'm paying the price of living life at the limit D (DbBass) Db Caught up in the century's anxiety E It preys on him, he's getting thin A Now he lives in a house a very big house in the country D A Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country E7 Eb He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country D A Ab Oh, it's like an animal farm that's the rural charm in the country He's got morning glory and life's a different story Everything's going Jackanory Touched with his own mortality He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland Oh, it's a century's remedy For the faint at heart A new start (Try the simple life) He lives in a house A very big house In the country He's got a fog in his chest So he needs a lot of rest In the country He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh Takes herbal baths In the country You should come to no harm On the animal farm In the country A E D A Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why COUNTRY HOUSE G--|--|--|-6-6-5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1-0-------|----------|---------|------- D--|--|--|---------------------------4-5-3-|----------|---------|-0-0---
