G Em Now that the holidays have come Am C They can relax and watch the sun G Rise above all of the beautiful things Em Am D They've done. G Em Go to the country take the dog Am C Look at the sky without the smog G Em See the world laugh at the farmers feeding hogs Am D E Eat hot dogs. Chorus: G# What a pity C F# That the people from the city F Fmaj7 Am C Em Can't relate to the slower things D That the country brings. G Time itself is bought and sold. Em The spreading fear of growing old Bm7 C Contains a thousand foolish games G That we play. G While people planning trips to stars Em Bm7 Allow another boulevard to claim C A quiet country lane G It's insane. Em7 Dmaj7 Em7 So the subtle face is a loser Dmaj7 G This time around. G A Here we are in the years D Where the showman shifts the gears Lives become careers Children cry in fear A Let us out of here!
