D
Because he calls the forest "Brother"
           A                   D
Because he calls the Earth his mother
               G Em A           D
They drove him out    into the rain
      A                                                    D
Some people even said that the boy from the country was insane


Because he spoke to the fish in the creek
             A                        D
He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
          G Em A               D
And who knows?   perhaps they do
     A                                                           D
How do you know they don't just because they've never spoken to you?

        A
Chorus:  Boy from the country
                                  D
         Left his home when he was young
        A                     (n.c.)
         Boy from the country
                       D
         He loves the sun.


He tried to tell us that we should love the land
         A                                                      D
We just turned our heads and laughed; you see we did not understand
     G                              Em    A                     D         
Sometimes I think the boy from the country is the only one who sees
            A                                                            D
'cause the boy from the country doesn't want to see the forest for the trees.
