G                    Am7
Folks are dumb where I come from,
     G         Fdim D7
They ain't had any  learning.
G                   Am7
Still they're happy as can be
D7               G          D7               G
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).

[Verse 2]

G                   Am7
Folks like us could never fuss
     G           Fdim      D7
With schools and books and learning.
G                     Am7
Still we've gone from A to Z,
D7               G          D7               G
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)

[Chorus 1]

    D7                        G       Em
You don't have to know how to read or write
            Am7        D7                 G
When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight.
    D7                      G       Em
You don't have to look in a book to find
        Am7           D7              G
What he thinks of the moon and what's on his mind.
Am7   D7    G          Am7  D7    G
 That comes naturally (that comes naturally).

[Bridge 1]

   B     F#7    B                F#7       B
My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name.
   B         F#7          B
He signs his checks with "x's"
         A7                 D7
But they cash them just the same.

[Verse 3]

G             Am7
If you saw my pa and ma,
      G         Fdim   D7
You'd know they had no learning,
G                      Am7
Still they've raised a family
D7               G          D7               G
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)

[Verse 4]

G               Am7
Cousin Jack has never read
   G      Fdim   D7
An alma - nac on drinking
G                     Am7
Still he's always on the spree
D7               G          D7               G
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).

[Chorus 2]

    D7                 G       Em
You don't have to go a private school
       Am7       D7           G
Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule,
    D7                   G           Em
You don't have to have a professor's dome
       Am7        D7             G
Not to go for the honey when the bee's not home.
Am7  D7    G          Am7  D7    G
That comes naturally (that comes naturally).

[Bridge 2]

   B    F#7  B                    F#7    B
My tiny baby brother, who's never read a book,
      B       F#7      B
Knows one sex from the other,
       A7            D7
All he had to do was look,

[Verse 5]

G                Am7
Sister Sal who's musical
    G     Fdim  D7
Has never had a lesson,
G                      Am7
Still she's learned to sing off-key
D7               G          D7               G
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).

[Verse 6]

G               Am7
Grandpa Bill is on the hill
     G       Fdim   D7
With someone he just married.
G              Am7
There he is at ninety-three,
D7               G          D7               G
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
