Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
When [G]I was a k[D]id Uncle R[C]e mus
he [G]put me to [C]bed[D]
With a [G]picture of [D]Stonewall
[C]Jackson a[G]bove my [C]head[D]
Then [Em]daddy came in to kiss his [D]little man
With [Em]gin on his breath and a B[D]ible in his hand
He [C]talked about honor and
[D]things I should know
Then he'd [C]stagger a little as he
[D]went out the door

[Chorus 1]
I can [G]still hear the [D]soft Southern [Em]winds
in the [D]live oak [C]trees[G][Am][D]
And those [G]Williams [D]boys they [Em]still mean
a [D]lot to [C]me [G]Hank and Tennes[Am]see[D]
I [C]guess we're all gonna [D]be
what we're gonna [Em]be[C]
So [C]what do you do with [D]good ole boys
like [G]me[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Nothing [D]makes a [C]sound
in the [G]night like the [C]wind [D]does
But [G]you ain't a[D]fraid if you're [C]washed
in the [G]blood like [C]I w[D]as
The [Em]smell of cape jasmine
through the [D]window screen
John [Em]R. and the Wolfman kept m[D]e company
By the [C]light of the radio [D]by my bed
With [C]Thomas Wolfe whispering [D]in my head

[Chorus 2]
I can [G]still hear the [D]soft Southern [Em]winds
in the [D]live oak [C]trees[G][Am][D]
And those [G]Williams [D]boys they [Em]still mean
a [D]lot to [C]me [G]Hank and Tennes[Am]see[D]
I [C]guess we're all gonna [D]be
what we're gonna [Em]be[C]
So [C]what do you do with [D]good ole boys like [G]me
[D][C][D]

[Verse 3]
When [G]I was in s[D]chool I r[C]an with
a [G]kid down the [C]street[D]
And I [G]watched him [D]burn himself [C]up on
[G]bourbon and [C]speed[D]
But I was [Em]smarter than most and
[D]I could choose
Learned to [Em]talk like the man on the
[D]six o'clock news
When [C]I was eighteen, Lord, I[D] hit the road
But it [C]really doesn't matter how [D]far I go

[Chorus 3]
I can [G]still hear the [D]soft Southern [Em]winds
in the [D]live oak [C]trees[G][Am][D]
And those [G]Williams [D]boys they [Em]still mean
a [D]lot to [C]me [G]Hank and Tennes[Am]see[D]
I [C]guess we're all gonna [D]be
what we're gonna [Em]be[C]
So [C]what do you do with [D]good ole boys like
[Em]me[C]
Yeah, what do you do with [D]good ole boys like

[Outro 1]
[G](me)[G][G][G]
