"Take Me To The Country"
(Ronny Scafe/Don Singleton/Larry Rogers)

[A]Workin' nine to five just to stay alive living from
day to day
And the TV dinners and the tonic and gin is eatin' up
all of my pay
It's a [D]natural fact if your living like that you
won't be living long
It takes a [A]whole lot of lovin' from a whole lot of
woman
To keep me satisfied and strong
Well on the [E]outskirts of town there's a lady I've
found
That knows how to treat me right
She's gonna [D]Take Me To The [E]Country to-[A]night

CHORUS
[A]She's gonna [D]Take Me To The Country
She's gonna [A]Take Me To The Country
Well there's a [E[lady I've found on the outskirts of
town
That knows how to treat me right
She's gonna [D]Take Me To The [E]Country to-[A]night

[A]When the weekend comes and the work is done I'm
looking for a place to play
I leave the city streets for the trees and creeks,
saddle up around Chesapeake Bay
With a [D]moon above and a feelin' for love we're
dancing on a hard wood floor
It takes a [A]whole lot of lovin' from a whole lot of
woman to keep me coming back for more
Well on the [E]outskirts of town there there's a lady
I've found that knows how to treat me right
She's gonna [D]Take Me To The [E]Country to-[A]night

CHORUS

She's gonna [D]Take Me To The [E]Country to-[A]night
