Chords with lyrics
C majorC FF
Mama never had a flower garden
G7G7 C majorC
Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
FF
Daddy never went on a vacation
G7G7 C majorC
He died a tired old man at forty-four
FF
Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
G7G7 C majorC
Cause we lived in a poor sharecropper shack
FF
The Jackson's down the road were poor like we were
G7G7 C majorC
But our skin was white and their was black
G minorGm C majorC
But I believe the south is gonna rise again
FF E7E7 A minorAm
But not the way we thought it would back then
FF G7G7 A minorAm
I mean everybody hand in hand
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
I believe the south is gonna rise again
FF
I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
G7G7 C majorC
Where dirty rundown shack stood once before
FF
I see sons and daughter and sharecroppers
G7G7 C majorC
But they're not picking cotton anymore
FF
But more important I see human kindness
G7G7 C majorC
As we forget the bad and keep the good
FF
A augmentedA brand new breeze is blowing cross the southland
G7G7 C majorC
And I see a brand new kind of brotherhood
G minorGm C majorC
But I believe the south is gonna rise again
FF E7E7 A minorAm
But not the way we thought it would back then
FF G7G7 A minorAm
I mean everybody hand in hand
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
