(Chorus):
D
I feel no shame
D
I'm proud of where I came from
C G D
I was born and raised in the boondocks
D
One thing I know
D
No matter where I go
C G D
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
(Verse)
Am
And I can feel
C D
That muddy water running through my veins
Am C D
And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train
C G
It sings to me and it sounds familiar
(Repeat Chorus)
Am
And I can taste
C D
That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
Am
When it grows wild
C D
On the banks down at old camp creek
C G
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
G D
It's where I learned about living
G D
It's where I learned about love
G D
It's where I learned about working hard
C G
And having a little was just enough
G D
It's where I learned about Jesus
G D
And knowing where I stand
G D C
You can take it or leave it, this is me
G D
This is who I am
(Solo) D - D - C - G - D
Am
Give me a tin roof
C D
A front porch and a gravel road
C
And that's home to me
G
It feels like home to me
(Repeat Chorus)
C G D
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
** NC (1st time around) **
You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
** 2nd time has light single strums, 3rd time play these chords **
D
You get a line, I'll get a pole
C G
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
(Down in the boondocks)
D
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
C G D
Church on Sunday morning
