PAUL McCARTNEY - HEART OF THE COUNTRY. (Paul & Linda McCartney)
Released in the UK as B side of BACK SEAT OF MY
CAR single on 13th August 1971.
I look high, I look low,
I'm lookin' everywhere I go
Lookin' for a home
In the heart of the country.
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Lookin' for a home
In the heart of the country.
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow,
Heart of the country,
Smell the grass in the meadow.
Wo Wo Wo.
Want a horse, I want sheep,
I want to get me a good night's sleep
Livin ' in a home
In the heart of the country.
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Livin' in a home
In the heart of the country.
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow,
Heart of the country,
Smell the grass in the meadow.
Wo Wo Wo.
To match the recording you should tune your guitar a whole
