 Subject: I Was Country (When Country Wasn't Cool) by Barbara Mandrell
 I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool
 Barbara Mandrell / George Jones
 Intro: C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7 C (pause)
                       G
 I remember wearin' straight leg Levis
 
 C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
 and flannel shirts, even when they weren't in style
                      G
 I remember singin' with Roy Rogers
 
 C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
 at the movies, when the West was really wild
                   F
 And I was listenin' to the Opry
            Fm                                             C
 Em             Am
 when all of my friends were diggin' Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & Blues
            Dm                    G                       C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
 I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
 
 I remember circlin' the drive-in
 pullin' up and turnin' down George Jones
 I remember when no one was lookin'
 I was puttin' peanuts in my Coke
 I took a lot of kiddin', 'cause I never did fit in
 now look at everybody tryin' to be what I was then
 I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
 
 Chorus:
           Dm                    G                        C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
 I was Country, when Country wasnt cool
           Dm                    G                               C-Cmaj7
 C-Cmaj7
 I was Country, from my hat down to my boots
 F                      Fm
 I still act, and look the same
                  C             Em        Am
 what you see ain't nothin' new
           Dm                    G                       C-Cmaj7  C-Cmaj7
 I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
 
 (Instrumental)
 
 They call us "country bumpkins", for stickin' to our roots
 I'm just glad we're in a country, where we're all free to choose
 I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
 
 (Repeat Chorus) (George Jones part)
 
 
 Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
