G#m  B  C#  E


[Verse 1]
          G#m
I grew up 48506
       B
Way up north and in the sticks
        C#                       E
With my grandpa's tractor in the backyard
        G#m
Running barefoot wild and free
            B
Through the fields and through the creeks
      C#                        E
Where God's good people like to work hard
   G#m              B
My roots run deeper than these woods
      C#                 E
Where grass is green and life is good
      G#m             B          C#
Don't need no help to bait a hook,
              E
I can do it myself


[Chorus]
              G#m                       B
If that ain't country I don't know what is
                    C#                        E
Been bumping Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
               G#m                    B
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sunny
          C#                       E
Living on fun when there wasn't no money
               G#m                        B
Drinking sweet tea with some lemon on the side
                        C#                      E
Momma screaming out the screen door, "Come on inside"
               G#m                    B
A pan of fried chicken dipping in the honey
                C#                  E
Come on tell me y'all if that ain't country
                  G#m
I don't know what is
                  B
I don't know what is
             C#
I don't know what
                  E
I don't know what is
          G#m    B    C#    E
(Ooh, ooh)


[Verse 2]
                 G#m
We play hide and seek in the corn
       B
And we dance when it pours
         C#                       E
Building forts way up high in the maple trees
        G#m
Bow our heads when we pray
     B
"Yes ma'am," is what we say
       C#                       E
Sewing bandanas patching up our holy jeans
  G#m                B
I paint my nails but it comes off
     C#                 E
From jumping cliffs and skipping rocks
    G#m                   B                C#    E
The moon is bright, let's catch some frogs y'all


[Chorus]
              G#m                       B
If that ain't country I don't know what is
                    C#                        E
Been bumping Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
               G#m                    B
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sunny
          C#                       E
Living on fun when there wasn't no money
               G#m                        B

                        C#                      E
Momma screaming out the screen door, "Come on inside"
               G#m                    B
A pan of fried chicken dipping in the honey
                C#                  E
Come on tell me y'all if that ain't country
                  G#m
I don't know what is
                  B
I don't know what is
             C#
I don't know what
                  E
I don't know what is
          G#m    B    C#    E
(Ooh, ooh)


[Bridge]
          G#m       B          C#               E
There's a pink camo heart underneath this Maybelline
        G#m              B              C#               E
Come on raise your hands up if you were raised just like me
     F#*
In a pink little house with a white picket fence
N.C.
Underneath blue skies, yeah
N.C.
Ain't that America


[Chorus]
              G#m                       B
If that ain't country I don't know what is
                    C#                        E
Been bumping Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
               G#m                    B
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sunny
          C#                       E

                  G#m
I don't know what is
                  B
I don't know what is (Ooh)
             C#
I don't know what
                  E
I don't know what is (Ooh)


[Outro]
                  G#m

                  B
I don't know what is (Ooh)
             C#
I don't know what
