(D)Lynyrd (A)Skynyrd (G)Jones, spelled with (A)all 4 (D)y's
Was born in (A)70-(G)something, between "Sweet Home" & "You (A)Got That (D)Right"
His (D)mama (A)met his (G)daddy at a Talla-(A)hassee (D)show
But just like (A)Tuesday, (G)daddy wound up gone on (A)down the road (D)
 
(Chorus)
(D)Lynyrd (A/C#)Skynyrd (A)Jones, hailed from (G)Gadsden, (A)Ala-(D)bama
(D)Born to (A/C#)carry (A)on who his (G)mama (A)was a (D)fan of
(D)Don't ask (A/C#)me no (A)questions and I (G)won't tell (A)you no (Bm)lies
That's (G)what she always (D)told him, right up (G)till the day (A) she (D)died

(D)Lynyrd (A)wasn't (G)black or white, he was somewhere (A)in be-(D)tween
Throw in, abandoned and (A) con-(G)fused and you get the blues when you're (A)just thir-(D)teen
Well he found (A)his sal-(G)vation in a pawn shop (A)bought guitar (D)
You can't teach that (A)kind of (G)pickin’, it's got to come right (A)from your heart (D)
