[A]
There's [F#m] a [E] southern
[A] accent
[E] [F#] where [F#m] I [E]
[A] come from.
[F#m] The young 'uns [E]
[A] called it country, [D] the Yankees called [E] it dumb.
I got [F#m] my own [E] way [A] of talking, [D] but everything [E] is done
with [F#] a [F#m]
[E] southern [D] accent where I come from.
Now [Bm] [A]
[F#m] that drunk tank [E] in [A]
Atlanta was just [F#m] a motel [E] room [A] to me.
I think [F#m] I might go [E] work [A] Orlando if them [D] orange groves [E] don't freeze.
I've [F#m] got my [E] own way [A] of working, [D] but everything
[F#m] [E] is run
with [F#m] a [E] southern
[D] accent where I come from.
For [A]
[D] just a minute there [F#m] I was dreaming.
[D] For just a minute it [F#m] was all so real.
[B] For just a minute she [E] was standing [A]
there with [D] me.
[A]
There's [F#m] a dream [E] that I [A] keep having where [F#m] my mama
[E] comes [A] to me
and [F#m] she kneels [E] down [A] over by the window and [D] says a prayer [E] to me.
I've got [F#m] my [E] own way [A] of praying and [D]
everyone's [E] begun
with [F#m] a
[E] southern [D] accent where I come from.
We [A]
[F#m]
[E] [A]
[F#m]
[E] [A]
[F#m]
[E] [A]
[D]

have [F#m] our [E] own way [A] of living [D] and everything [E] is done
[F#] with a [F#m]
[E] southern [D] accent where I come from.
