Appalachian Pride Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
Now I'll [C]tell you in Chicago boys,
I [F]was broken man
[G]Dirty movies,
credit cards and [F]bills past due [C]again
And that son of mine spit in my
face and [F]then I tanned his eye
He [G]got a taste of Appalachian [C]pride

[Verse 2]
That [C]sassy son of mine,
he was [F]more than I could take
I [G]loaded wife and kids and dogs
and [F]then I pulled up [C]stakes
Back home here in the old home
'stead I've [F]kept him by my side
And [G]filled him with my
Appalachian [C]pride

[Verse 3]
We're [C]praising God in
[F]everything we [C]do
Thankful [G]we had [C]this to [F]come back [C]to
[F]We don't have much [C]money,
[Bb]but we're dignif[C]ied
And [G]happy in our Appalachian
[C]pride

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
There's [C]hell mud in the smoke house,
some [F]flower in [G]the ban
Molasis, cans and beans
un[F]til crop [C]comes in
The kids back in that bedroom,
they [F]finally understand
[G]The pride of an Appalachian [C]man

[Verse 5]
Now [C]we don't live on welfare,
we don't [F]need the checks no more
[G]We got sick of bill collectors
[F]a- banging on the [C]door
We'll break our backs from dusk till
dawn and [F]God is on our side
And we'll [G]make it just on
Appalachian [C]pride

[Verse 6]
We're [C]praising God in
[F]everything we [C]do
Thankful [G]we had [C]this [F]to come back [C]to
[F]We don't have much [C]money,
[Bb]but we're dignif[C]ied
And [G]happy in our Appalachian [C]pride

[Outro 1]
[C][G][C]
