Country Comfort
Elton John (w/Bernie Taupin, 1971)
Intro
| [A] | [D] | [A] | [D]
Soon the [A] pines will be falling every- [D] where [D]
Village [Bm] children fight each [G] other for a [E7] share [E7]
And the [A] six o' nine goes roaring past the [D] creek [D]
Deacon [Bm] Lee prepares his [E7] sermon for next [A] week [A]
I saw [A] grandma yesterday down at the [D] store [D]
Well she's [Bm] really going [G] fine for eighty [E7] four [E7]
Well she [A] asked me if sometime I'd fix her [D] barn [D]
Poor old [Bm] girl she needs a [E7] hand to run the [A] farm [A]
Chorus
And it's [D] good old country [E7] comfort in my [A] bones [A]
Just the [D] sweetest sound my [E7] ears have ever [A] known [A]
Just an [D] old fashioned [E7] feeling fully [A↓] grow- [G↓] o- [F↓] own...
Country [Bm7] comfort's in a [E7] truck that's going [A] home [A]
| [G↓] [D↓] | [A] | [A]
Down at the [A] well they've got a new [D] machine [D]
The foreman [Bm] says it cuts man- [G] power by [E7] fifteen [E7]
Yeah but that [A] ain't natural well so old Clay would [D] say [D]
You see he's a [Bm] horse-drawn man un- [E7] til his dying [A] day [A]
Chorus
And it's [D] good old country [E7] comfort in my [A] bones [A]
Just the [D] sweetest sound my [E7] ears have ever [A] known [A]
Just an [D] old fashioned [E7] feeling fully [A↓] grow- [G↓] o- [F↓] own...
Country [Bm7] comfort's in a [E7] truck that's going [A] home [A]
| [G↓] [D↓] | [A] | [A]

| [G↓] [D↓] | [A] | [A]
Now the [A] old fat goose is flying cross the [D] sticks [D]
The [Bm] hedgehog's done in [G] clay between the [E7] bricks [E7]
And the [A] rocking chair's creaking on the [D] porch [D]
Across the [Bm] valley moves the [E7] herdsman with his [A] torch [A]
Chorus

Country [Bm7] comfort's in a [E7] truck that's going back [A] home [A]
