From Cotton To Satin
Gene Watson
Intro:
FF Bb majorBb C majorC
Chorus:
FF Bb majorBb
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
FF C majorC
From a pickup to a long limousine
FF Bb majorBb
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
FF C majorC FF
She had to follow her dream
FF Bb majorBb FF
I saved up enough, to buy her, one small diamond
C majorC
That's the year that old tractor, broke down
FF Bb majorBb
And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree
FF C majorC FF
Some old bricks and boards all around
FF Bb majorBb FF
She begged me to take her, to see New York City
C majorC
So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone
FF Bb majorBb FF
But while we were there she took up with a rich man
C majorC FF (Walk up & Change Keys C majorC D MajorD)
I came back, to the country alone
FF BB FF
Now there is the garden, where she touched every flower
C majorC
There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand
FF BB FF
If only she'd waited, she'd have more than she dreamed of
C majorC FF (Walk up & Change Keys D MajorD E MajorE)
For today they struck oil on my land
