Capo 2nd Fret (To Match Recording)

Intro: (G) (Em) (C) x 2

Well, I (G) live all alone in Chickasaw (C) County

Where the (G) rundown barns and rusted tr(C)actors
Are (G) covered in (D) kudzu (G) vine
Now, for 85 years, my people raised (C) cotton
Till (G) grandaddy lost this (D) land

Gettin' (G) by any(D)way that we (G) can

  But, (Em) un(D)der the (G) kudz(C)u the (G) mighty
  South lies sl(D)eepi(G)ng
  (Em) Dream(D)ing of (G) glor(C)y
  That (G) slowly slipped aw(D)ay
  On (Em) on (D) nights like (G) this, (C) boys
  I can (G) almost hear her (D) weeping
  (C) Out there, (D) under the (G) kudzu

If you (G) follow that hot tar road down to (C) Jackson
You (G) pass through Planters(D)ville
(G) That's where I worked and spent my (C) money
Un(G)til they closed (D) down the (G) mill
I got read bad to drink
So my sweet Sam(C)antha, (G) packed up her things and (D) moved
I (G) hear she's a qualified beau(C)tician
(G) Working down in (D) Baton (G) Rogue...and

Repeat Chorus

Yes, I'll (C) walk on over to the (D) Pitstop Market
And (Em) buy me a Coke to (G) drink

And (Am) wait for the sun to (C) sink (D)
