Southern Way Of Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Let[Cm] me t[Bm]ell[G][Cm]
[Bm]you a little s[G]tory...
When [Cm]I was a gir[Bm]l
growing [G]up in the South
[Cm]Wild as a March [Bm]hare,
trying to [D]figure things [G]out
Back when the [Cm]Black- [Eb]eyed [D]peas were
something you put in your mouth
[G]Yea[Am]h, you know what
I'm talking [D]about...
[Cm]We were to[G]ld to either f[D]ish or c[G]ut bait,
[Cm]Can't never [Bm]could and it
don't [D]pay to be [G]late
When you're a [Cm]sight for sore [D]eyes,
it's good to see your [G]face
[Am]You know what I'm talking abou[D]t...

[Verse 2]
WE LIKE OUR [D]LOVING UNDER
THE [C]STARS UP IN THE SKY
[G]IF ONE'S IN THE OVE[D]N,
YOU STILL GET [C]SERVICE WITH A [G]SMILE
IF WE HAD [D]OUR DROTHERS WE'D
RATHER [C]WALK A COUNTRY [G]MILE
YOU [A]CATCH MORE BEES WITH HONEY
THAN WITH [C]MONEY
IT'S THE SOUTHERN WAY OF [G]LIFE[Cm][G]
(SIM[Cm]PLE LIFE)...(DO WHAT?)
Living in high cot[Bm]ton is the

[Verse 3]
[G]
way it should be
Two [Cm]peas in a [G]pod means
you're [D]hanging with [G]me
If you're [Eb]pointing [Cm]a finge[G]r you're
barking [D]up the [G]wrong tree
[Am]You know what I'm talking abou[D]t...

[Verse 4]
WE LIKE [D]OUR LOVING UNDER
THE [C]STARS UP IN THE SKY
[G]IF ONE'S IN THE OVE[D]N,
YOU STILL GET [C]SERVICE WITH A [G]SMILE
IF WE HAD [D]OUR DROTHERS WE'D
RATHER [C]WALK A COUNTRY [G]MILE
YOU [A]CATCH MORE BEES WITH
HONEY THAN WITH [C]MONEY
IT'S THE SOUTHERN WAY OF
[G]LIFE (SIMPLE LIFE)...(DO WHAT?)

[Verse 5]
We're fixin' to get with it, [D]there's
hoe cakes in the kitchen
You can [Am]fetch 'em if you want 'em,
I [C]reckon it's time for supper
When you're [G]smack dab in the middle
of some [D]high falutin quibble
No [Am]need to start a ruckus or [C]get all cattywampus...
