Ain't Just a Southern Thing Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]left my home in Georgia
Took a dream and a dollar
Went looking for that fortune and [C]fame
Well I [D]found it up in Nashville
With the guitars and the fiddles
Started singing 'cross the U.S. Of [G]A
Well [D]I'd [G]played my songs in Georgia
Way down there in Florida
Once or twice in New Or[C]leans
But [D]the sounds I was making
Didn't know that I'd be taking
Them to places that's so
far and so [G]strange[D][G]
[D]But the peo[G]ple really dug[D] it
No [G]matter where we strummed it
I felt it would be [C]OK
'Cos I [D]learned right away
It ain't just a southern [C]thing!
[G]

[Verse 2]
Oh I've [C]played up in Chicago
And western Colorado
And we [G]kicked 'em dead in [D]Santa [G]Fe
Sung in [C]North and South Dakota
And eastern Oklahoma
[D]And a TV show out in L.A.
They got the [G]hats and boot[D]s
And [G]them country roots
No [Gm]matter [G]what state [C]they claim
[D]Oh the facts are plain
It ain't just [C]a southern thing!

[Verse 3]
I've seen [G]cowgirls a [D]plenty
up [G]in NYC
[Gm]Milwaukee and in Philly, [G]PA[C]
They got the [D]four- wheel [Dm]drives
On that Minnesota ice
Just like they have [D]in [Gm]Alabam- a
They're dancing [G]and they're [D]moving
To the [G]lyrics and the music
From [Gm]Maui up to [G]Bangor [C]Maine
Lord it [D]may sound strange
But it ain't just a southern
thing!
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[C]Oh I've played up in Chicago
And western Colorado
And we [G]kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe
Sung in [C]North and South Dakota
And eastern Oklahoma
And [D]a TV show out in L.A.
They got the [G]hats and boots
And them country [D]roots
[Gm]No matter what state[G] they clai[C]m
Oh the [D]facts are plain
It ain't just a southern [G]thing!

[Verse 5]

On the land and on the ocean
But people can't say my [C]name
Yeah, the [D]fact remains
It ain't just [C]a southern thing!
[G]

[D]Oh [C]I've played up in Chicago

And we [G]kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe

They got the [Gm]hats [G]and boot[D]s
And them [Gm]country roots
[D]No mat[Gm]ter what sta[C]te they claim
Oh [D]the facts are plain
It ain't just a southern thing!
[G][D]

[Verse 7]
