G    Gmaj7    G6    G/D 

           G     Gmaj7   G6   G/D           G      Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
Because he called                the forest brother 
           D     D7sus4   D   D7sus4              G     Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
Because he called                   the earth his mother 
               C   C/B   Am   D7          G    Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
They drove him out               into the rain 
     D           D7sus4   D            D7sus4      G     Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
Some people even said the boy from the country was insane 

           G    Gmaj7   G6      G/D         G    Gmaj7   G6   G/D  
Because he spoke           with fish in the creek 
            D       D7sus4   D          D7sus4        G    Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
He tried to tell us            that the animals could speak 
    C    C/B   Am   D7              G   Gmaj7   G6   G/D  
Who knows,             perhaps they do  
    D                D7sus4       D                   D7sus4    G   Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
How do you know they don't just because they've never spoken to you 

D              D7sus4   D             D7sus4           G    Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
  Boy from the country,   he left his home when he was young 
D              D7sus4   D   D7sus4             G   Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
  Boy from the country,           he loves the sun 

D    D7sus4    G/D    D7    G    Gmaj7    G6    G/D 

            G      Gmaj7   G6               G/D      G   Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
He tried to tell us          that we should love the land 
        D                    D7sus4   D         D7sus4       G    Gmaj7   G6   G/D      
We just turned our heads and laughed     see we did not understand 
    C                 C/B          Am             D7           G   Gmaj7   G6   G/D       
Sometimes I think the boy from the country is the only one who sees 
            D            D7sus4          D             D7sus4         G    Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
Because the boy from the country doesn't wanna see the forest for the trees 

D              D7sus4   D             D7sus4           G    Gmaj7   G6   G/D             
  Boy from the country,   he left his home when he was young 
D              D7sus4   D   D7sus4             G   Gmaj7   G6   G/D 
  Boy from the country,           he loves the sun 

G    Gmaj7    G6    G/D    D    D7sus4    G/D    D7
