My Country Conscience

| A     | E     | A     | A     |

                  A      D
I came in here tonight
               A
To do a little thinking
            A
When I left home-I promised her twice
               E
"I ain't going drinking"
              A               D
Then you walk in and knock me down
               A                 E
We could slip away, but in a few days
                  A
It'll be all over town

               A         D             A
But my country conscience will tell on me
                A      B        E
The roots of my raising run too deep
              D                 C          A     D
Sometimes temptation can make a strong man week
               A         E             A
But my country conscience won't let me cheat

             A      D
I started to leave
           A
Then I hesitated
                A
I looked in her eyes
                     E
And I was "almost persuaded"
                 A                         D
Then she took my hand but when she touched my ring
              A                  E
A voice in my head, spoke up and said
                            A
"Son you're doing the wrong thing"

               A         D             A
But my country conscience will tell on me
                A      B        E
The roots of my raising run too deep
              D                 C          A     D
Sometimes temptation can make a strong man week
               A         E             A       D
But my country conscience won't let me cheat

           A         E             A
My country conscience won't let me cheat
