Intro: C Em F G C Em F G Verse: C Em It was '96 in South Carolina F G That's the place and not the goddamn year C Em Sittin' on the porch out at Bobby's place F G Just tuggin' on a Lukewarm beer Pre-Chorus: F Dm And there I was peepin' like an old sidewinder F Dm Just an inch or so above the mud Am F The first to find out that it's rainin' C G Is the last to find out it's a flood
Verse: C Em And it was paradise valley Nevada F G Not far from where the west was won C Em I am the only black face in the whole damn place F G Just a raisin' in the blazing sun Pre-Chorus: F Dm And there I am like that old sidewinder F Dm Just wishin' that her eggs ain't hatched Am F And the chain I wear has 'em wishin' for the day C G When it came with a ball attached Chorus: C Em F So I'm gonna move, right outta this town G C Em F This old skin, stops weighing me down G This old skin Bridge: F Dm He was sittin' in the very same spot that Otis C Am Sat to watch the dock of the bay Bb Dm In the very same spot, that the ships rolled in G Now there's nothin' but the mud and the clay Chorus: C Em F I'm gonna move, right outta this town G C Em F This old skin is weighing me down G This old skin Instrumental: C Em F G Verse: C Em Outside Orlando in the sunshine state F G Has just upped itself another degree C Em I am the very last orange of the whole year's crop F G Hangin' dearly to the branch of the tree Pre Chorus: F Dm And the wind and the spring couldn't do anything F Dm So I'm burnin' in the sun of the south Am F That old sidewinder in the dust below C G I'm just waiting till it opens its mouth Chorus: C Em F So I'm gonna move, right outta this town G C Em F When this old skin, finally touches the ground G This old skin Bridge: F Dm He was sittin' in the very same spot that Otis C Am Sat to watch the dock of the bay Bb Dm In the very same spot, that the ships rolled in G Now there's nothin' but the mud and the clay Chorus: C Em F Now, I'm gonna move, right outta this town G C Em F G When this old skin, finally touches the ground C Em F G This old skin This old skin C Em F G C
