Intro: All in D
D
When I was 6 or 7
A
Mama tucked me in
D
With a lullaby and it
A
Made my eyes open wide again
G
I would lie awake and wonder
D G
Why a boy named Billy Joel
D
Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge
A
To the river far below
G
Blame it on mama
D
And the songs she loved to sing
G D
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing
G D
Don't come from Alabama or a hill from Tennessee
C
Just blame it on mama, she sang (she sang)
D
The country into me
D
I just loved to listen
A
As she'd sing those story songs
D
'Bout a coat of many colors
A
Or a girl named Delta Dawn
G
When the lights went out in Georgia
D G
I would beg for just one more
D
All about Fancy and the pretty red satin
A
Dancing dress she wore
(Chorus)
G D
I'm a coal miner's daughter
G D
Lovin my preacher's son
G D
I have walked the streets of La Reto
A
Stared down the barrel of a law man's gun
G D
I've grown roots and I've got claims
G D
To places I've never been
G D
And when I sing those songs it takes me
A
Right back home again
D
(Chorus)
D
The country into me, yeah
