E
I feel no shame
E
I'm proud of where I came from
      Dno3     A             G(Note)  E     
I was born and raised in the boon.....docks
E
One thing I know
E
No matter where I go
          Dno3      A           G(Note) E     
I keep my heart and soul in the boon....docks


          Bm7
And I can feel that
D                              E
Muddy water runnin' through my veins
          Bm7
And I can hear that
D                     E
Lullaby of a midnight train
       Dno3               A/Db
And it sings to me and it sounds familiar


(Repeat Chorus)

          Bm7
And I can taste that
D                             E
Honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
        Bm7
When it grows wild
D                             E
On the banks down at old Camp Creek
             Dno3               A/Db
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowin'


(Repeat Chorus)

A                          E
It's where I learned about livin'
A                          E
It's where I learned about love
A                          E 
It's where I learned about workin' hard
             D         (Db   B  A   - step-down notes)
And havin' a little was just enough
A                          E
It's where I learned about Jesus
A                   E
And knowin' where I stand
A                  E         
You can take it or leave it
D           A/Db         E
This is me, this is who I am                  


(Lead solo chords:)  E - E - D - A - G(note) - E


          Bm7        (B Db  - step up notes to upcoming D2 chord)
Give me a tin roof
  D2(chord notes D thru E) E
A front porch and a gravel  road
           Dno3
And that's home to me
              A/Db   
It feels like home to me


(Repeat Chorus, end with extra last line as follows:)

         (F# E  D   Db D Db    AhBpA G    E - step-down notes)
I keep my heart and soul in the booooon...docks

We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole

Church on Sunday morning
