Subject: I Was Country (When Country Wasn't Cool) by Barbara Mandrell

I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool
Barbara Mandrell / George Jones
Intro: C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7 C (pause)

G
I remember wearin' straight leg Levis

C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
and flannel shirts, even when they weren't in style
                     G
I remember singin' with Roy Rogers

C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
at the movies, when the West was really wild
                  F
And I was listenin' to the Opry
           Fm                                             C
Em             Am
when all of my friends were diggin' Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & Blues
           Dm                    G                       C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool

I remember circlin' 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

Chorus:
          Dm                    G                        C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
I was Country, when Country wasnt cool
          Dm                    G                               C-Cmaj7
C-Cmaj7
I was Country, from my hat down to my boots
F                      Fm
I still act, and look the same
                 C             Em        Am
what you see ain't nothin' new
          Dm                    G                       C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool

(Instrumental)

They call us "country bumpkins", for stickin' to our roots
I'm just glad we're in a country, where we're all free to choose
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool

(Repeat Chorus) (George Jones part)

Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
