F                                Bb
And July the 12th, it sure was a scorcher
Bb                          F
Momma she'd fixed some lemonade
       F                       Bb
Sister Beth was sunnin' in the sunshine
    Bb                          F
And baby Coy was playin' in the shade

I looked up the road and yonder come a big car
That's something we don't see much around here
Big man said Son where is your pappy
He's over in the cornfield not far from here


Up 1/2 step to F#

F#                                        B
And they started talkin' over by the rail fence
B                                  F#
It looked like poppa was a-gettin' mad
F#                                       B
They walked to the house and poppa was a-cryin'
    B                                   F#F
And Poppa never cried and I knew it was bad

And two weeks later in the Logan County Courthouse
Rainin' cats & dogs outside
It sure was awful the way momma was a-cryin
They say she thought that woman had died


Up 1/2 step to G

               G                                     C
And poppa said Judge, we tried to raise us up a good boy
C                   G
From a little bitty tot
    G                                      C 
And Jody never'd go against another womans wishes
    C                            G
And that kind of boy I know he's not


Up 1/2 step to G#

    G#                                  C#
And you know the power of the almighty dollar
     C#                        G# 
Will come out the winner every time
G#                                 C#
Willie Buchanan done got away with something
C#                                  G#
And then tried to blame that boy of mine

And July the 12th, it sure was a scorcher
And momma she'd fixed some lemondade
Sister Beth was sunnin' in the sunshine
Baby Coy was playin' in the shade
