High Cotton

***************************************************************************** This is my first posting, but I'm pretty sure it's close if not right on to the original recording by Alabama (according to what I can hear anyway!). Tabbed by: Non-registered Guest ***************************************************************************** Chord diagram shows something different than I'm doing: C7 I'm using = standard C + pinkie on 3rd fret 3rd string ***************************************************************************** Song Title: HIGH COTTON Artist: Alabama F We didn't know the times were lean Bb Round our home the grass was green F C7 It didn't seem like things were all that bad F I bet we walked a thousand miles Bb Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows F C7 F And learnin' how to give it all we had. F As life went on and years went by Bb I saw the light in daddy's eyes F C7 And felt the love in mama's hands F They kept us warm and kept us fed Bb Taught us how to look ahead F C7 F Now lookin' back, I understand. Refrain 1: F We were Walkin' in High Cotton Bb Old times there are not forgotten F C7 Those fertile fields are never far a- way F We were Walkin' in High Cotton Bb Old times there are not forgotten F C7 F Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced. F When Sunday morning rolled around Bb We dressed up in hand-me downs F C7 Just in time, together with the church F Sometimes I think how long it's been Bb And how it impressed me then F C7 F It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work. REPEAT Refrain 1 (Change to key of G:) Refrain 2: F G We were Walkin' in High Cotton C Old times there are not forgotten G D7 Those fertile fields are never far a- way P G We were Walkin' in High Cotton C Old times there are not forgotten G D7 G Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced. REPEAT Refrain 2 We Were Walkin' In High Cotton.
