G D Em
She Sees The World Through Yellowing Lace
C G D
The World Hasn’t Seen Her Since Seventy-eight
C G C
Except For The Nephew Who Used To Look In
G D G
To Bring Her Her Chocolate And Tonic And Gin
[Verse 2]
G D Em
She Lives In One Room Of A Mansion Downtown
C G D
With Nothing But Strip Bars And Strip Malls Around
C G C
It Used To Be Three Miles To Those Big Stone Gates
G D G
Property Taxes Just Whittled It Away
[Chorus]
C G
She Believes Somehow That Nothing Has Changed
D G
Even Though Sherman Left Georgia In Flames
C G C Am
Cotton’s Still King And The South Didn’t Fall
G D G
As Long As Wisteria Climbs Up The Wall
[Verse 3]
G D Em
She Won’t Read The Paper And Won’t Watch The News
C G D
She Thinks It’s All Lies Made Up By New York Jews
C G C
Her Daddy Said No Matter What The Laws Say
G D G
Down Here We’ve Always Done Things Our Own Way
[Chorus]
C G
She Believes Somehow That Nothing Has Changed
D G
Even Though Sherman Left Georgia In Flames
C G C Am
Cotton’s Still King And The South Didn’t Fall
G D G
As Long As Wisteria Climbs Up The Wall
[Verse 4]
G D Em
Some Day That Petrified House Will Fall Down
C G D
Like Everything It Will Return To The Ground
C G C
Whatever It Stood For Will All Be Condensed
G D G
To One Paragraph On A Plaque By The Fence
[Chorus]
C G
She Believes Somehow That Nothing Has Changed
D G
Even Though Sherman Left Georgia In Flames
C G C Am
Cotton’s Still King And The South Didn’t Fall
G D G
As Long As Wisteria Climbs Up The Wall
