Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (Csus4) (C major) (G major) (C major) (Csus4) A
(C major) reporter
(G major) came to town last (F major) Wednesday. (Csus4)
He (C major) ordered up the (G major) chicken
fried steak. (C major) (Csus4)
(C major) He didn't know (G major) that it came with gravy,
(A minor) so he asked Janie (G major) for a clean (C major) plate. (Csus4)
(C major) And he talked (G major) just (Gsus4) like the TV, (F major)
an (C major) d he looked like nowhere, (Gsus4)
USA. (F major) (C major) said he'd been (G major) sent down
to find (A minor) the disappearing south
(G major) but he didn't (C major) know what all
(F major) the fuss was about any (C major) way
(G major) and old (F major) gus wheeled around stood up proud rolled
his sleeves up like a (C major) man ready to (G major) settle it all (Gsus4)
And Gus said, (G major)
(F major) God bless the Yankees,
and I don't mean (C major) baseball. (F major)
God bless the (C major) black man,
(G major) God bless the (Gsus4) Jew. (G major)
(F major) One spin is (Gsus4) life out pickin' cotton,
(C major) one spin is (G major) cotton pickin' life,
(A minor) dyin' for me and you.
(F major) Ain't much around here
but a bunch of (C major) old folks
With (F major) the King James (C major) English
in their (G major) mouth (Gsus4) (G major)
(F major) But you find something (G major) they believe (C major) in
And would fight for and die for in a (A minor) heartbeat
(G major) And (F major) you're looking at the
(G major) disappearing South (C major)
Gus said, (Gsus4) hey,
can (F major) I buy you supper? (Csus4)
(C major) Around here we call that (G major) hospitality.
(Gsus4) (F major) (Csus4) (C major) You know you
can get that (Csus2) same meal
(G major) for three (A minor) prices down by (G major) the interstate
where (F major) they park them big
buses and RVs. (G major) (Gsus4)
(G major) And (C major) you see that flag (G major) there on (F major) the wall,
(C major) I have seen (G major) it flown in (F major) hate.
(C major) But there was a time
when what it stood (A minor) for was pride
and inde (G major) pendence,
Like the sun (F major) shining down
on this scar (G major) let space. (F major)
God bless the Braves,
(A minor) and I don't (C major) mean baseball
An (F major) d the whole rest (C major) of the Indian Nation,
(Gsus4) too (G major)
(F major) I can still (G major) hear the whips
bark (C major) ing at our (G major) backs
God, I (A minor) wish that was
something we (C major) (G major) could undo
(F major) Ain't much around here
(C major) but a bunch of old folks
(F major) Most of the (C major) young ones
have moved (Gsus4) out
But (G major) (F major) you find (G major) something
they believe in (C major)
And would fight (G major) for and die
for in a (A minor) heartbeat
When (G major) (F major) you're looking
at the (G major) disappearing side (A minor)
An (F major) d you're looking at the (Gsus4) disappearing
sound (G major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (G major)
