Gone Country - Alan Jackson 
(Bob McDill) 
 
As a source I used the submission of: [email protected] 
(theTone) 
of 20 Feb 1995. 
He explains that the riff is not the correct picking, so I looked into 
it: 
 
               G                    D               C 
 
Play the riff between | and | 4 times. Use 3rd and 4th finger for the G 
chord 
in the riff (3rd fret B and E string) and leave those fingers there thru 
the whole riff. 
 
Also play the G chord thru the whole song as follows: E A D G B E 
                                                      3 x 0 0 3 3 
 
 
 
           G                        C         D            (riff) 
She's been playing that room on the strip for ten years in Vegas 
      G                      C          D        (riff) 
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages 
           G                                   C            D 
(riff) 
She's been reading 'bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's 
buying 
           G                  C    D          (riff) 
Says I'm a simple girl myself grew up on Long Island 
       Em                D 
So she packs her bags to try her hand 
     Em            D 
Says this might be my last chance 
 
           G        C            D 
She's gone country, look at them boots 
           G        C           D

Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the village 
         G                        C          D           (riff) 
He's been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege 
        G                               C         D          (riff) 
He says I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin' 
      G                        C          D              (riff) 
Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan 
  Em                   D

But the bills are pilling up and the pop scene just ain't on a rally 
        G                           C            D              (riff) 
He says honey I'm a serious composer schooled in voice and composition 
             G                        C         D

But with the crime and the smog these days this ain't no place for 
children 
        Em                   D
