Cigarette State

      E                            
Well, just beyond Virginias 
  A
southern border
     E                            
Is a land that I am happy to call 
B
mine
    E                              
And I was raised in a house of 
      A
brick and mortar
       B                        
In the red clay hills of central 
     E
Caroline
        E                        
Now the corn crop there is hardly 
         A
worth a mention
        E                        
And the cattle farms are fine but 
         B
not the best
         E                      
Its this little leaf we borrowed 
          A
from the indians
     B                             
That keeps our state a notch above 
    E
the rest

[CHORUS]
    A                         E
The Georgia peach is fair, Kentucky 
beyond compare
A                   B
Alabamas grand, The state not the 
band
        E                          
Now the south she has her diamonds,
     A
 And every one is great
    E                   B         
But North Carolina is a cigarette 
E
state.

[VERSE II]
        E                          
Now the folks in our hometown sure 
        A
had the habit
Continúa después del anuncio
     E                             
They smoked the best home grown the
            B
 whole year round
     E                             
They knew what a good time was and 
       A
how to have it
        B                    E
Because that was a cigarette town
    E                              
Our neighbour Frank was no high 
         A
bred man of letters
    E                              
But he made an honest living off 
  B
the land
       E                           
And he put away three packs a day 
  A
or better
        B                  E
Because he was a cigarette man

[CHORUS]
    A                         E
The Georgia peach is fair, Kentucky 
beyond compare
A                   B

        E

 And every one is great
    B                   B         
But North Carolina is a cigarette

[VERSE III]
  E                                
I took up with a pretty thing from 
A
Nashville
      E                         B
Loved her more than even I told her 
so
    E                              
She took it between her fingers 
      A
nice and natural
    B                              
And sucked it to the filter like a 
E
pro
     E                             
So I gave her a ring and from her 
    A
pa I swiped her
    E                              
She gave me a boy I'm happy to call
 B
 mine
E                                 
Chain smokes cools and I go out 
  A
for diapers
     B                         
In a red brick house in central 
     E
Caroline
