Country Comfort


Country Comfort by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. An old favourite of mine from early 70s album Tumbleweed Connection. Verse 1: A D Soon the pines will be falling everywhere Bm G E Village children fight each other for a share A D And the 6:09 goes roaring past the creek Bm D A Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week Verse 2: A D I saw grandma yesterday down at the store Bm G E Well she's really going fine for eighty four A D Well she asked me if sometime I'd fix her barn Bm D A Poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm Chorus: D E A And it's good old country comfort in my bones D E A Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known D E A G F#m Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-growwwwwn Bm D A Country comfort's in a truck that's going home Verse 3: A D Down at the well they've got a new machine Bm G E The foreman says it cuts man-power by fifteen A D Yeah but that ain't natural well so old Clay would say Bm D A You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day Chorus Verse 4 Now the old fat goose is flying across the sticks The hedgehog?s done in clay between the bricks And the rocking chair?s are creaking on the porch Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch Final chorus Repeat last line three times
