Cuttin Onions

| G      D | Em     | G      D | Em     |


[Verse 1]
G                        D
Homemade curtains in the breeze
Em
Green grass stains on both of my knees
G            D
 My first memory
    Em                             C
Was mama poppin' grease and fryin' chicken
D                             G          D  Em
Cryin', cuttin' onions in the kitchen


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Sunday mornin', my best shirt
Em
Crock-Pot's on for dinner after church
G                        D
Dad was baptized by Lynchburg
Em                            C
Mama'd always beg him to come with us
D                             G         D
Cryin', cuttin' onions in the kitchen


[Chorus]
C                         Em           D
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
C                          Em              D
Devil's in the bottom of a bottle of brown liquor
C                                  Em               D
Daddy's on the front porch pourin' one more high or more
               C
Than Haggard's pickin'
       D                         G        D  Em
And mama's cuttin' onions in the kitchen


[Verse 3]
G          D
17, summer buzz
  Em
I stumbled in, she waited up
G                                D
Screen door creaked and there she was
Em                                     C
Both our eyes werе red 'cause I'd been sippin'
         D                                G
She said shе'd been cuttin' onions in the kitchen


[Chorus]
C                         Em           D
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
C                          Em              D
Devil's in the bottom of a bottle of brown liquor
C                                  Em               D
Daddy's on the front porch pourin' one more high or more
               C
Than Haggard's pickin'
      D                          G
And mama's cuttin' onions in the kitchen


[Interlude]
| G      D | Em     | G      D | Em     |
| C        | D      |


[Bridge]
Em
Flowers have the dirt
  D
Behind white picket fences
C
Mama tried on vinyl
         C                   Am7
Keeps on spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'


[Chorus]
C                         Em           D
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
C                          Em              D
Devil's in the bottom of a bottle of brown liquor
C                               Em
Daddy's six feet in the ground, everybody's at the house
D                         C
Nevermind all the colored   dishes
  D                          G        D  Em
Mama's cuttin' onions in the kitchen
 G   D  Em   D  G
Mm
