Guitar chords with lyrics

verse 1
F             Ab                F            Ab
Oh my Mother, let your daughter dance with me
F           Ab                       F              Ab
I'd like to spin her wild around the cottonwood tree
        Bbm                 Dbm               Bbm
There's something about her eyes, I think her roots are rotten
F                Ab                   F          Abadd13
This must be the reason she wears her hair up in knots, oh no

Pre-Chorus
F                      Ab
This is so embarrassing
F                 Ab
Ah, we're pissing fits
Fm                         F                  Ab
Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped
Bb                             Bbm
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
F                               Ab
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them
🎸

    Fm                                       F                Ab
The poor, they leave their cellphones in the bathrooms of the rich
              F                Ab       F          Ab
And when they try to turn them off everything they switch to
         Bb                           Bb          Ab
Is just another man, in shitty suits, everybody's cheering for
F                Ab                Fm
This must be the genius we've been waiting years for, oh no

Pre-Chorus

This is so embarrassing
F                 Ab
Ah, we're pissing fits

Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
