Song: Out In The Country
By:   Three Dog Night

[intro:]  4 x [ Am7  Bm7 E7 ]    { 575555  790000  x7675x }
 
[verse: 1]
Am7                         Bm7   E7
Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Am7                     Bm7 E7
Or feel the need to get away
Asus                    A
  I find a quiet place,   far from the human race
D7sus         D7       (G)
  Out in the country

[chorus:] 
G               D7/C           Bm7    Am7
  Before the breathing air is gone
            G   D             C                   D          
Before the sun    is just a bright spot in the nighttime
G               D7/C           Bm7    Am7
  Out where the rivers like to run
          G   D                  C                D          G {one beat} 
I stand alone   and take back something worth remembering

[verse: 2]
Am7                          Bm7   E7
Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Am7              Bm7     E7
Or need a bit of room to move
Asus                          A
  When life becomes too fast,   I find relief at last
D7sus         D7      
  Out in the country

[chorus:]  
G               D7/C           Bm7    Am7
  Before the breathing air is gone
            G   D             C                   D          
Before the sun    is just a bright spot in the nighttime
G               D7/C           Bm7    Am7
  Out where the rivers like to run
          G   D                  C                D          G {one beat} 
I stand alone   and take back something worth remembering
