[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Though the brambles
took the [Am]cab in I [C]was born in
And the bri[Am]ars reclaimed the
fields [C]I used to plow
There's a [F]yearning in
my heart to be [C]goin'
To that 40 -acre patch
[F]God sow[G]ed in spr[C]outs
[Am]Arkansas, are your rivers still [C]flowin'?
Is your cotton [F]growin' white as [G]snow?
Are the [F]squirrels still a -barkin'
up on [C]old
Crowley's
Ridge?
Has the [F]girl I was sparkin' gone and
[C]burned another [Am]bridge?
[C]Arkansas[Am][G]
[C]Arkansas, mm -mm [F]-m m, mm -mm [C]-m m,
mm -m[G]m -[C]mm, mm -mm -mm
I have known the troubles
[Am]I was born to kn[C]ow
I have [Am]wanted things a [C]poor
man's born to want
And in [F]all my dreams and
memories I go run[C]ning
Through the fields of
Arkansas [F]from [G]which I [C]sprung
[Am]Arkansas, are your rivers still [C]flowing?
Is your cotton [F]growing, white as [G]snow?
Do the [F]young men still piddle with
the [C]thought of growing rich
And [F]slowly turn to old folks
sittin' [C]whittlin' on a [Am]stick?
[C]Arkansas,[Am][G]
[C]Arkansas, ooo, [F]ooo, [C]ooo, ooo, ooo!
