From Cotton To Satin

F Bb C

[Chorus]
       F                  
From cotton to satin, from 
        Bb
Birmingham to Manhattan
           F                  C
From a pickup to a long limousine
       F                  
From cotton to satin, from 
        Bb
Birmingham to Manhattan
     F        C         F
She had to follow her dream

    F                     Bb      
I saved up enough, to buy her, one
           F
 small diamond
That's the year that old tractor, 
       C
broke down
          F                        
And the dream house I promised her 
       Bb
still lies by a shade tree
Continues after the ad
           F          C      
Some old bricks and boards all 
    F
around

F                              Bb
She begged me to take her, to see
           F
 New York City
So I mortgaged the farm and we were 
 C
gone
     F                           
But while we were there she took 
Bb         F
up with a rich man
                     C        F    
(Walk up & Change Keys C D)
I came back, to the country alone

      F                            
Now there is the garden, where she 
 B             F
touched every flower
There's the meadow where we walked 
        C
hand in hand
    F                       B  
If only she'd waited, she'd have 
                  F
more than she dreamed of
                      C         F   
(Walk up & Change Keys D E)
For today they struck oil on my land

[Chorus]
       G                  
From cotton to satin, from 
        C
Birmingham to Manhattan
        G                     D
From a pickup to a long limousine
       G                  
From cotton to satin, from 
        C
Birmingham to Manhattan
     G       D         G
She had to follow her dream

[Other]
                Gm
She went from cotton to satin
