Intro chords:
D G D G D G D
D D/F# G G/F#
Last fall we elected the man from Plains
Em A D
And there was lots of talk about a great big change
D D/F# G G/F#
But the Atlanta Braves, they still lose too many games
Em A D
And the new south, thank God is still the same
Old Nashville has still got a song and dance
And the Florida girls still wear no underpants
And we all get drunk at the football games
And the new south, thank God is still the same
Chorus
A G D
The New South is still the same and I'm so glad of it
A G D
I don't want no little ol' danish rolls I must have ham and grits
D D/F# D D7 G G/F#
And my woman does look good in her t-shirt, standing in the Georgia rain
Em A D
And the New South thank God is still the same
D G D G D G D
Now my ol' Grandpa, he still farms the land
And down in Miami, they voted in the all over tan
And I'm hooked on those Carolina dreams
And the new south thank God is still the same
Well my Boston girl, she read in the New York Times
That is was very chic now to speak southern lines
Though she sounds kind of funny when she says "y'all come again"
And the new south, thank God is still the same
Chorus
And my Boston girl says she likes it loving on the river bank
And the new south, thank God is still the same
