Lyrics

COUNTRYMEN - Capo 2


VS1
G C G
Men from country riding through
C
The sun is setting
C G
Another day is won
G C G
The dust it stirs as they pass by
C
As does my heart
C G
I hold back the cry

D
My father was one of these men
C
He rode with pride
G
Friends by his side
D
Happiest when he’s mounted
D C
Saddle and spur



CHORUS
G D
Countrymen
C G
My countrymen
G D C
My heart longs to be home again x2

VS2

Women from country passing through
Their skin is tough
Hips are bruised

As the carry the young
With heartfelt pride
Another generation by her side
D
Happiest close to family
C G
Sit and nurture

CHORUS

BRIDGE: Em D C G Em D C…..
Em D
Oh to escape this city
C G
It’s troubled pace way to busy
Em
To see the stars
D C
Gaze wonder at the moon
Em D
And maybe I will find you there
C G
Mother Father we can share
Em D
Those stories lost, retold
C
And gained again

CHORUS - ending
