Verse 1:
G             C        G           C      G         D   Dsus4 D
 Tonight it's hot down here, I can almost smell the rain
G                 C         G       Bm        D   Dsus4 D
 And I can almost taste the fear, behind your name
G                    C  G            C           G     D  Dsus4 D
 Fans turning on the ceiling, I feel sticky as a chili dog
G                         C  G     Bm             D  Dsus4 D
White boys howling in the evening, on that hollow log


Pre-Chorus
Em                    C                    G/B      D    Dsus4 D
  Tall tales down the river, Say we aim to bury the truth
        Em                C            G          D
But the right hand just delivered, The devil in a suit

       C     G/B    Am   G    D     Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
And he talks big in Whitewash County
C     G/B      Am G   D   Dsus4 D Dsus4
Talks sweet as su-gar cane
      Em   D      C      G/B  F
Got a past that's filled with lightning
      C      Cm          G
Got a future filled with rain


Instrumental: G F C G (x4)

G                  C     G             C               G    D   Dsus4 D
 Bug buzzing in an empty glass, fiddle scratching some lazy tune
G                           C       G           Bm        D    Dsus4 D
 We're just some place that history passed, new dust, new broom
G                    C        G                C     G       D   Dsus4 D
 And it's a high hot buttered moon, he's got a shiny new wax face
G                         C          G         Bm       D    Dsus4 D
 Swears the South's gonna rise again soon, all over the place

Em                    C                    G/B      D    Dsus4 D
  Tall tales down the river, Say we aim to bury the truth
        Em                C            G          D
But the right hand just delivered, The devil in a suit



       C     G/B    Am   G    D     Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
And he talks big in Whitewash County
C     G/B      Am G   D   Dsus4 D Dsus4
Talks sweet as su-gar cane
      Em   D      C      G/B  F
Got a past that's filled with lightning

Got a future filled with rain

But you never change your mind
