   1& 2eanda   3& 4eanda

 GDC
 1& 2eanda        3& 4eanda    (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)
There ain't no place I ain't never gone

 GD

    3& 4eanda       1& 2eanda
That you heard so many times

 GDC

Well there just ain't no place like home

 GDC
 1& 2eanda        3& 4eanda    (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)

 GDEmC
       3& 4eanda 1& 2eanda  3& 4eanda  1& 2eanda
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngins

 GDC
 3& 4eanda   1& 2eanda    (3 4alet 1alet 2 3 4eanda)
Or the fish in a river swiwin free

 GDEmC
      1& 2eanda   3& 4eanda      1& 2eanda   3& 4eanda
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina

 GDC
1& 2eanda          3& 4eanda  (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennesee

 GDC
3& 4eanda   1& 2eanda  (3 4alet 1alet 2 3 4eanda)
And lord I can't make any changes

 GDC
 1& 2eanda     3& 4eanda   (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)
All I can do is write 'em in a song

 GDEmC
 3& 4eanda      1& 2eanda  *3*& 4eanda 1& 2eanda
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin

 GDC
 3& 4eanda   1& 2eanda  (3 4alet 1alet 2 3 4eanda)
Lord take me and mine before that comes

 GDC
 1& 2eanda    3& 4eanda    (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)

 GDC
 3& 4eanda   1& 2eanda  (3 4alet 1alet 2 3 4eanda)

 GDC
 1& 2eanda    3& 4eanda        (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)
Like to see the mountain stream a flowing

 GDC
 3& 4eanda   1& 2eanda  (3 4alet 1alet 2 3 4eanda)
Do you like to see a youngin with his dog

 GDEmC
 1& 2eanda          3& 4eanda        *1*& 2eanda     3& 4eanda
Did you ever stop and think about well the air you're breathing

 GDC
 1& 2eanda         3& 4eanda (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)
Well you better listen to my song

 GDC

And lord I can't make any changes

 GDC

 GDC
 3& 4eanda               1& 2eanda  (3 4alet 1alet 2 3 4eanda)
But the things they write about us is just a bore

 GDEmC
 1& 2eanda    3& 4eanda  *1*& 2eanda  3& 4eanda
You can take a boy out of old Dixieland

 GDC
 1& 2eanda       3& 4eanda   (1 2alet 3alet 4 1 2eanda)
But you'll never take Dixie from a boy
