High Cotton
by Alabama written by Scott Anders & Roger Murrah
 
G
We didn't know the times were lean
C
Around our home the grass was green
   G                                     D7
It didn't seem like things were all that bad
  G
I bet we walked a thousand miles
C
Chopping cotton and pushing plows
    G               D7             G
And learning how to give it all we had
 
 
As life went on and years went by
C
I saw the light in daddy's eyes
    G                       D7
And felt the love in mama's hands
G
They kept us warm and kept us fed
C
Taught us how to look ahead
    G              D7           G
Now looking back I think I understand
 
                               
We Were Walking in High Cotton
          C
Old times there are not forgotten
      G                             D7
Those fertile fields are never far away
                   G
We were walking in high cotton
          C
Old times there are not forgotten
        G                    D7            G
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced
 
 
When Sunday morning rolled around
C
We dressed up in hand-me downs
     G                         D7
Just in time together with the church
G
Sometimes I think how long it's been
C
And how it impressed me then
   G                   D7             G
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work
 
Repeat #3
