Country · Tenor · C3–C5
Country songs a tenor can sing in the original key.
8 of the 23 Country songs in the catalogue fit a tenor as written — every note between C3 and C5.
The widest of them is 10,000 Hours by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber, 23 semitones from C3 to B4; the narrowest is Hurt by Johnny Cash, at 14 semitones.
Of the 23, 4 go below C3 and 12 climb above C5; 1 does both.
Every Country song that fits C3–C5

What this list is
The catalogue holds 430 songs with a sourced lowest and highest note, and 23 of those are Country. A song is on this page only if both of its notes already sit inside C3–C5 — nothing has been moved to another key.
A voice type is a convention for classifying a trained voice by timbre and where it sits, not a test result on its own.
No song here is marked safe or risky. Those labels are read off notes held for two seconds, and this page has not heard you sing.
