Hear the homeward call of the mockingbird

Verse:

I'm goin' where the cotton grows in rows of snowy bales
    E minorEm                       D MajorD        C majorC
Where a man and a mule don't look much different to the boss man's scale
     G+G           B minorBm
Where the long leaf pine hide a secret place
   E minorEm                      D MajorD     C majorC
That everybody knows what it looks like but can't nobody see

Of a thousand years of footsteps chasin' its wide domain
