     * (This is probably the most appalling slide symbol
       I have ever seen. :) The slide is entirely optional.
       It sounds OK when played electrically, but I wouldn't
       recommend it for an acoustic guitar.

G
I don't like to go down to the flats 
                          C
'Cause I can't park on a hill 
                     D  
Instead getting a rolling start 
                   G
I have to pay the bill. 

       
I guess I need that city life 
It sure has lots of style 
But pretty soon it wears me out 
And I have to think to smile. 
       
I'm thankful for my country home 
It gives me peace of mind 
Somewhere I can walk alone 
And leave myself behind. 
       
It's only someone else's potatoes 
You pickin' someone else's patch 
And if you go down there anyway 
It very seldom lasts. 
       
I found that out once long ago 
And it sure got me confused 
I still don't know which way to go 
To lose those old spud blues. 
      
I'm thankful for my country home 
It gives me peace of mind 
Somewhere I can walk alone 
And leave myself behind.
