WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Whiskey Myers - Ballad Of A Southern Man Chords | Ver. 1
[Verse 1]
G D Cadd9 G
My first rifle was a .243
Em7 D Cadd9 G
Papa gave Daddy and Daddy gave to me
G D Cadd9 G
and they taught me how to shoot with a steady hand
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I guess that's something you don't understand
G D Cadd9 G
Now I grew up on a prison farm
Em7 D Cadd9 G
sneaking pulls of shine from a mason jar
G D Cadd9 G
used to go fishing out pickle creek dam
Em7 D Cadd9 G
but I guess that's something you don't understand
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Grandmas in the kitchen
Cadd9 D
Papas drunk past on
Cadd9 G
We sit out on the front porch
Em7 D Cadd9
Just a pickin' on the songs
Cadd9 G
and there's blood on the table
Cadd9 D
cause we work for what we have
Em7 D Cadd9
and I was raised in this land
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I guess that's something you don't understand
[Verse 2]
G D Cadd9 G
I still fly that southern flag
Em7 D Cadd9 G
whistling Dixieland enough to brag,
G D Cadd9 G
and I know all the words to simple man
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I guess that's something you don't understand.
G D Cadd9 G
I pledge my allegiance the original way
Em7 D Cadd9 G
say Merry Christmas not happy holidays
G D Cadd9 G
I can't change my ways I know who I am
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I guess that's something you don't understand
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Grandmas in the kitchen
Cadd9 D
Papas drunk past on
Cadd9 G
We sit out on the front porch
Em7 D Cadd9
Just a pickin' on the songs
Cadd9 G
and there's blood on the table
Cadd9 D
cause we work for what we have
Em7 D Cadd9
and I was raised in this land
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I guess that's something you don't understand
[Bridge]
F#m G
I'll grind the soap in a big machine
Bm Cm
They'll feed us all on the same beliefs
F#m G
Holy dollar and a credit card
Bb Fm
but we got a way of doing things
G
and no bankers gonna steal from me
Am
they wanna tear it all apart
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Grandmas in the kitchen
Cadd9 D
Papas drunk past on
Cadd9 G
We sit out on the front porch
Em7 D Cadd9
Just a pickin' on the songs
Cadd9 G
and there's blood on the table
Cadd9 D
cause we work for what we have
Em7 D Cadd9
and I was raised in this land
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I guess that's something you don't understand
[Outro]
G D Cadd9 G
My first rifle was a .243
Em7 D Cadd9 G
Papa gave Daddy and Daddy gave to me
