Verse 1
(G major) My first (D major) rifle was a (Cadd9) .24 (G major) 3
(E minor) Papa gave (D major) Daddy and Dad (Cadd9) dy gave to (G major) me
And they taught me how to (D major) shoot
with a (Cadd9) steady hand (E minor)
I guess that's (D major) something
you don't (Cadd9) under (G major) stand
Now I grew up (D major) on a (Cadd9) prison farm (G major)
(E minor) Sneaking pulls of (D major) shine from a (Cadd9) mason jar (G major)
Used to go (D major) fishing out (Cadd9) pickle creek (E minor) dam
But I guess that's some (D major) thing
you (Cadd9) don't under (G major) stand
Chorus 1
(Cadd9) Grandmas in the kitch (G major) en
(Cadd9) Papa's (G major) done passed (D major) on
We'd (Cadd9) sit out on the front (G major) porch
Just a- (E minor) pickin' (D major) on the songs (Cadd9)
And there's blood on the (G major) table
'Cause we (Cadd9) work for (G major) what we (D major) have
And I was (E minor) raised (D major) in this (Cadd9) land
I (E minor) guess that's
(D major) something you don't (C major) under (G major) stand

Verse 2
(G major) I still (D major) fly that (Cadd9) southern flag (G major)
(E minor) Whistling (D major) Dixieland e (Cadd9) nough to brag (G major)
And I know all the (D major) words to sim (Cadd9) ple man (E minor)
I guess that's (D major) something
you don't (Cadd9) under (G major) stand
I pledge my al (D major) legiance the o (Cadd9) riginal (G major) way
(E minor) Say Merry (D major) Christmas not (Cadd9) Happy Holi (G major) days
I can't change my ways (D major) I know (Cadd9) who I (E minor) am
I guess that's (D major) something
you don't (Cadd9) under (G major) stand
Chorus 2
(Cadd9) Grandmas in the kitch (G major) en
(Cadd9) Papa's (G major) done passed (D major) on
We'd (Cadd9) sit out on the front (G major) porch
Just a- (E minor) pickin' (D major) on the songs (Cadd9)
And there's blood on the (G major) table
'Cause we (Cadd9) work for (G major) what we (D major) have
And I was (E minor) raised (D major) in this (Cadd9) land
I (E minor) guess that's
(D major) something you don't (C major) under (G major) stand
Bridge 1
(B flat major) They'll grind us up in a (F major) big machine
(C major) They'll feed us all on the (G major) same beliefs
(B flat major) Holy dol (F major) lar and a credit card (C major)
(B flat major) But we got a way of (F major) doing things
(C major) And no bankers gonna (G major) steal from me
(D major) They wanna tear it all apart
Chorus 3
Grandmas (Cadd9) in the kitch (G major) en
(Cadd9) Papa's (G major) done passed (D major) on
We'd (Cadd9) sit out on the front (G major) porch
Just a- (E minor) pickin' (D major) on the songs (Cadd9)
And there's a bible on the (G major) table
'Cause we (Cadd9) bleed for (G major) what we (D major) have
And that's the (E minor) ballad of a (D major) southern man (Cadd9)
I (E minor) guess that's
(D major) something you don't (C major) under (G major) stand
Outro 1
(G major) My first (D major) rifle was a (Cadd9) .24 (G major) 3
(E minor) Papa gave (D major) Daddy and Dad (Cadd9) dy gave to (G major) me
