Ballad of a Southern Man Whiskey Myers
[Verse 1]
[G]My first [D]rifle was a [Cadd9].243[G]
[Em7]Papa gave [D]Daddy and [Cadd9]Daddy gave to [G]me
[G]and they taught me how to [D]shoot with a [Cadd9]steady [G]hand
[Em7]I guess that's s[D]omething you [Cadd9]don't under[G]stand
[G]Now I grew [D]up on a [Cadd9]prison [G]farm
[Em7]sneaking pulls of [D]shine from a [Cadd9]mason [G]jar
[G]used to go [D]fishing out [Cadd9]pickle cree[G]k dam
[Em7]but I guess that's [D]something you [Cadd9]don't unders[G]tand
[Cborus]
[Cadd9]Grandmas in the k[G]itchen
[Cadd9]Papas drunk past [D]on
[Cadd9]We sit out on the [G]front porch
[Em7]Just a pic[D]kin' on the [Cadd9]songs
[Cadd9]and there's blood on the [G]table
[Cadd9]cause we work for what we [D]have
[Em7]and I was raised [D]in this [Cadd9]land
[Em7]I guess that's [D]something you [Cadd9]don't unders[G]tand
[Verse 2]
[G]I still [D]fly that [Cadd9]southern [G]flag
[Em7]whistling [D]Dixieland e[Cadd9]nough to [G]brag,
[G]and I know all the [D]words to [Cadd9]simple [G]man
[Em7]I guess that's [D]something you [Cadd9]don't unders[G]tand.
[G]I pledge my a[D]llegiance the o[Cadd9]riginal [G]way
[Em7]say Merry [D]Christmas not [Cadd9]happy holid[G]ays
[G]I can't change my [D]ways I [Cadd9]know who I [G]am
[Em7]I guess that's [D]something you [Cadd9]don't unders[G]tand
[Cborus]
[Cadd9]Grandmas in the k[G]itchen
[Cadd9]Papas drunk past [D]on
[Cadd9]We sit out on the [G]front porch
[Em7]Just a pic[D]kin' on the [Cadd9]songs
[Cadd9]and there's blood on the [G]table
[Cadd9]cause we work for what we [D]have
[Em7]and I was raised [D]in this [Cadd9]land
[Em7]I guess that's [D]something you [Cadd9]don't unders[G]tand
[Bridge]
[F#m]I'll grind the soap in a [G]big machine
[Bm]They'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 [Fm]doing things
[G]and no bankers gonna steal from me
[Am]they wanna tear it all apart
[Cborus]
[Cadd9]Grandmas in the k[G]itchen
[Cadd9]Papas drunk past [D]on
[Cadd9]We sit out on the [G]front porch
[Em7]Just a pic[D]kin' on the [Cadd9]songs
[Cadd9]and there's blood on the [G]table
[Cadd9]cause we work for what we [D]have
[Em7]and I was raised [D]in this [Cadd9]land
[Em7]I guess that's [D]something you [Cadd9]don't unders[G]tand
[Outro]
[G]My first [D]rifle was a [Cadd9].243[G]
[Em7]Papa gave [D]Daddy and [Cadd9]Daddy gave to [G]me
