The Big One

D

 D
It was a hot Suday morning, middle 
of July
 D
The choir was a singin', 'bout the 
sweet by and by.
 G
Everybody was a swayin', sweatin' in
 the heat.
D
We all bowed our heads down, as the 
preacher took his seat
G                           G    
My sister and my brother stood next 
D
to my mother
   D      G                   
In the quiet at the close of the 
G    A
verse
G
That's when daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi

[Verse 2]
D
My sister rolled her eyes back My 
brother bit his lip
D
My cousin just behind us Whispered, 
"Hey, who let it rip?
G
I stuck my face in my shirtsleeve 
Stared down at my shoes
D
Lord, you could hear a pin dropAs we
 stood there in the pew
G             G      D    
Heads were turnin', eyes were 
      D       G                  
burnin' Momma stuck her nose in 
G    A
her purse
G
After daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi

[Chorus]
G                             D
He cut the big one It was a stinker
  E                             
Then he broke the silence With a 
   A
snicker
G                                 
And us kids started laughin' 'Til 
   D                 E
I thought we was all gonna burst

Em                                
He said, "The devil made me do it"
    D                      G A
 Momma said it was the liverwurst
G
And that's why daddy cut the big one
