A Country Music got a hold me D It bit me in the worst degree E When I was little heard a fiddle or a steel guitar A N.C. I started hoppin and a boppin like a man from Mars A Country music got a hold on me D It's an affliction that won't let me be E It's a certain fact that's plain to see A Country music got a hold on me D A When I turned eighteen I joined a Hillbilly band E A Rocked every joint from Maine to Alabam D A Now people they're a comin from miles around B E Wanna hear me play that country sound A Country music made me what I am D Lord I'm a take-off pickin guitar man E When I'm rockin and a rollin I'm a sight to see A Country music got a hold on me [Solo 1] A A A A D E E E E A A A A D E E E E [Verse] D A Well I got my guitar but I love my girl E A My hillbilly princess really sets my heart a whirl D A Buts she's meaner than the Devil when I gotta go away B E I got another show to play A Country music got a hold of my soul D I can't stop now Lord I'm on a roll E One thing in life holds a guarantee A Country music got a hold on me [Solo 2] A A A A D E E E E A A A A D E E E E [Solo 3] A A A A D E E E E A A A A D E E E E
