When I was a kid, [D] Uncle Remus, he put me to bed [E]
[A] With a picture [E] of [D] Stonewall Jackson above my head
[E]
[F#m] Then Daddy came in to [E] kiss his little man [F#m] With gin on his breath [E] and a Bible in his hand
[D] He talked about honored [E] things, I should know [D] They staggered a little [E] as he went up the door
I [A] can still hear [E] the soft [F#m] southern winds and [E] the live [D] old trees [A]
[Bm] [E] And [A] those Williams [G#m]
boys, they [F#m] still mean a lot to [D] me
[A]
Hank [Bm] and Tennessee, [E] [D] I guess we're all gonna [E] be what we're gonna [F#m] be So [D] what do you do [E] with good old boys [A] like me?
[E] Nothing makes [D] a sound in [A] the night like [D] the wind does [E] [A] But you ain't [E]
afraid if [D] you're washed in [A] the blood [D] like I was
[E] [F#m] The smell of cave jasmine through [E] the wooden screen [F#m] John R.
