Ballad of a Southern Man  Whiskey Myers






 


 Please rate an let me know what yall think.


 


 


 [(G)]My first [(D)]rifle was [(Cadd9)]a .243,[(G)]


 [(Em7)]Papa gave Da[(D)]ddy and Da[(Cadd9)]ddy gave to me,[(G)]


 [(G)]and they taught me how to s[(D)]hoot with a [(Cadd9)]steady hand,[(G)]


 [(Em7)]I guess that's som[(D)]ething you don't[(Cadd9)] understand.[(G)]


 


 


 Now I grew up on a prison farm,


 sneaking pulls of shine from a mason jar,


 used to go fishing out pickle creek dam,


 but I guess that's something you don't understand.


 


 Chorus:


 [(Cadd9)]Grandmas in the kit[(G)]chen;


 [(Cadd9)]Papas done passed o[(D)]n;


 [(Cadd9)]We sit out on the fron[(G)]t porch,


 [(Em7)]Just a pick[(D)]in' on the so[(Cadd9)]ngs;


 [(Cadd9)]and there's blood on the[(G)] table,


 [(Cadd9)]cause we work for what we[(D)] have;


 [(Em7)]and I was raised i[(D)]n this [(Cadd9)]land,


 [(Em7)]I guess that's some[(D)]thing yo[(Cadd9)]u don't underst[(G)]and.


 


 I still fly that southern flag,


 whistling Dixieland enough to brag,


 and I know all the words to simple man,


 I guess that's something you don't understand.


 


 I pledge my allegiance the original way,


 say Merry Christmas not happy holidays,


 I can't change my ways I know who I am,


 I guess that's something you don't understand.


 


 


 Grandmas in the kitchen;


 Papas done passed on;


 we sit out on the front porch,


 just a pickin' on the songs;


 and there's blood on the table,


 cause we work for what we have;


 and I was raised in this land,


 I guess that's something you don't understand.


 


 Bridge:


 [(F#m)]A pile of soap and a big[(G)] machine;


 [(Bm)]I'll feed us all on the[(Cm)] same beliefs,


 [(F#m)]Holy dollar and a credit[(G)] card;


 [(Bb)]but we got a way of doing[(Fm)] things,


 [(G)]and no bankers gonna steal from me;


 [(Am)]they wanna tear it all apart.


 


 Grandmas in the kitchen;


 Papas done past on;


 we sit out on the front porch,


 just a pickin' on the songs;


 and there's a bible on the table,


 cause he bleed for what we have,


 and that's the ballad of a southern man,


 I guess that's something you don't understand.


 


 Repeat 1st two lines:


 


 My first rifle was a .243,


 Papa gave Daddy and Daddy gave to me.


 


 In the bridge, They are all barred chords
