G             C               G
I can see the sadness in your eyes
             C            G
Knowing that I'm going to leave
     C            D7           G          Em
If I told you the reason you'd never understand
C                               D7
Cause the truth you never could see

             G           C
So I'm going back to the country roads
G
Back where the tall corn grows
C                                D7
Back where the stream is running free
G              C            G
Back where the air is clear back where I can hear
    C             D7         G
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep

                 C                 G
I've enjoyed the sweetness of your smile
                         C                 G
And your soft touch that warms me when I'm cold
       C               D7           G                 Em
If you want me you can find me look down that country road
C                                  D7
I'll be walking and looking for my soul

             G           C
So I'm going back to the country roads
G
Back where the tall corn grows
C                                D7
Back where the stream is running free
G              C            G
Back where the air is clear back where I can hear
    C             D7         G
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep

    C             D7         G
The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
