From Cotton To Satin

Capo 4 (or tune down ½ step)


     E                            A
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
       E                     B7
From a pickup to a long limousine
     E                            A
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
E          B7         E
She had to follow her dream

  E                      A             E
I saved up enough to buy her one small diamond
           E                           B7
That's the year that old tractor broke down

        E                                A               E
And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree
         E          B7          E
Some old bricks and boards all around

She begged me to take her to see New York city
So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone
But while we were there she took up with a rich man
I came back to the country alone

Now, there is the garden where she touched every flower
            F                              C7
There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand
   F                            Bb            F
If only she'd waited she'd have more than she dreamed of
    F                 C7        F
For today they struck oil on my land


Up ½ step to F#
She went from cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan
From a pickup to a lonely limousine
From cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan
She had to follow her dream
She went from cotton to satin
