If you want to follow along with the play styling just watch the video. It isn't too 
hard to catch on to the chord timing, right and left hand mutes, and various other small 
embellishments.  I assume if you're here though then you already know the song.

[Verse 1]
C/G                     F
All of my friends said "What's out in Cumberland?"
C/G                        G
"Gonna get lonesome when you get out to Cumberland"
C/G                     F
"Stay in the city, boy, winter is a wonderland"
C/G                 G
They all mean well, I will remember them

[Chorus]
C/G          F                        C/G          G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                       C/G      G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Verse 2]
C/G                              F
Wander through the holler, honey, wander through the glen
C/G                          G
Neighborly with fiddleheads, copperheads, and moccasins
C/G                          F
Build a little cabin, honey, throw a window in
C/G                                  G
Watch the breeze blowin' through the hickories and dandellins’

[Chorus]
C/G     F                       C/G          G
Oh boy get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                       C/G       G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Bridge]
C/G (mute)                       C/G    F   C/G
If you get there before I do
C/G (mute)                              C/G  F  C/G
Tell everybody I'm a 'coming too

C/G     G     C/G    F     C/G G C/G

[Verse 3]
C/G                              F
I know a pretty girl, she's the prettiest there's ever been
C/G             G
Wild as a weed, sweeter than a mandolin
C/G                       Fsus2
I ain't a handsome man but I bet she'd take me as I am
C/G                        G
I haven't met her yet but I bet she lives in Cumberland

[Chorus]
C/G     F                        C/G          G
Oh boy get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                        C/G       G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Verse 4]
C/G                                   F
So before you start talkin' 'bout the wonders of the world again
C/G                               G
The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, the places that I never been
C/G                           F
Take a little drive, take a little trip to heaven and
C/G                        G
Wonder for a while if it's paradise or Cumberland

[Chorus]
C/G     F                        C/G          G
Oh boy get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                        C/G      G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Outro]
C/G          F                        C/G          G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now
C/G          F                        C/G      G   C/G
Oh boy gotta get yourself back to the country now

C/G     F     C/G  G  C/G
