[Verse]
       C      G              F
Just a 4 by 6 slab a Georgia pine
C             G            F
Coffee stains cover up the chip in egg shell white
    C                G     F
Dad bought it new in 198---2
                              Am
And it ain’t left that dining room
         G
Since it rolled off
     F
That Sears assembly line


[Chorus]
           C                G
It was the start and end of every day
     Fadd9
Hats off heads down
      G
Who’s turn is it to pray
Am           G
Gather round cryin’ and laughing
Fadd9
More than just the biscuits we were passin’
        C                     G
Where I learned the words kids shouldn’t say
              Fadd9        G
And that’s to be excused before you walked away
Am                       C
All the life lessons you can’t learn on no label
Am                               C
Right there around Mama's kitchen table

[Verse]
       C                         G               F
It was built for 6 But there was never less than 8
            C                  G
It’s held a lifetimes worth of my homework
    F
And homemade birthday cakes
          C              G              F
And those cups I used to drink my apple juice
                                   Am
Had more than once been filed with Booz
       G
On the weekends
     F
when my folks went away


[Chorus]
           C                G
It was the start and end of every day
     Fadd9
Hats off heads down
      G
Who’s turn is it to pray
Am           G
Gather round cryin’ and laughing
Fadd9
More than just the biscuits we were passin’
        C                      G
Where I learned the words kids shouldn’t say
              Fadd9        G
And that’s to be excused before you walked away
Am           G           Fadd9
All the life lessons you can’t learn on no label
Am                 G              Fadd9
Right there around Mama's kitchen table
G                       Am     Fadd9      G
Around Mama's kitchen table


[Bridge]
                  C                   G
Yeah it’s Where I learned to hold and fold and raise
       Fadd9         G
And it ain’t always about who wins the game
Am               G           Fadd9
And all the life lessons you can’t find on no label
           Am                         G              Fadd9
I’ve had a seat right there since the day I left the cradle
       G                C     G      F
Around Mama's kitchen table
                        C     G      F
Around Mama's kitchen table

It’s just a 4 by 6 slab of Georgia pine
