  I don't know how to write the riffs that are added during the song.

  Some are hammer on and pull offs on the 4th & 5th string while strumming

  the D chord.

  

  Verse 

          D                             Am7

  	The preacher man says its the end of time

                  G                        D

  	And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry

          D                          Am7

  	The interest is up and the stock markets down

                  G                      D

  	And you only get mugged if you go down town

  

          D                  Am7

  	I live back in the woods you see

             G                          D

  	My woman and the kids and the dogs and me

          D                             Am7

  	I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive

                G           Am7 D

  	I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn

          D                               Am7

  	We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too

                G                         D

  	Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do

                                        Am7

  	We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine

                G           Am7 D

  	And a country boy can survive

          Am7           G   D

  	Country folks can survive	

  

  Chorus 

  

                      G                           F

  	Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run

                C                        G

  	Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun

  Verse

          D                       Am7

  	We came from the West Virginia coal mines

                  G                       D

  	And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies

                                        Am7

          D                      Am7

  	I had a good friend in New York City

             G                          D

  	He never called me by my name just HillBilly

                                  Am7

  	My GrandPa taught me to live off the land

              G                      D

  	And his taught him to be a business man

                                             Am7

  	He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night

              G                 D

  	And I'd send him some homemade wine

                                            Am7

  	But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife

              G                      D

  	For forty three dollars my friend lost his life

                                            Am7

  	I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye

              G                     D

  	And shoot em' with my ole 45

                  Am7         G   D        

  	Cause a country boy can survive

  	Country folks can survive
