Small Town Southern Man
Written and recorded by Alan Jackson

F               C
Born the middle son of a farmer 
      G7                  C
And a small town Southern man
F                C
Like his daddy's daddy before him 
           G7
Brought up workin' on the land
F                   C
Fell in love with a small town woman 
         G7                     C
And they married up and settled down
F              C
Natural way of life if you're lucky 
      G7         F        C
For a small town southern man

F                C
First there came four pretty daughters 
         G7                  C
For this small town Southern man
F                C
Then a few years later came another
  G7
A boy he wasn't planned
F                   C
Seven people livin' all together 
     G7                       C
In a house built with his own hands
F                          C
Little words with love and understandin' 
       G7         F        C
From a small town southern man

       F                 C
And he bowed his head to Jesus 
       F               C
And he stood for Uncle Sam
       F              C
And he only loved one woman 
              G7
He was always proud of what he had
            F              C
He said his greatest contribution 
       F              C
Is the ones you leave behind
F             C
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness 
     G7         F        C
Of a small town southern man

F       C
Callous hands told the story 
         G7                  C
For this small town southern man
F                 C
He gave it all to keep it all together 
             G7
And keep his family on his land
F              C
Like his daddy years wore out his body 
        G7                    C
Made it hard just to walk and stand
F                              C
You can break the back but you can't break 
                G7         F        C
The spirit of a small town southern man

Repeat #3

F       C
Finally death came callin' 
         G7                  C
For this small town southern man
        F                  C
He said it's alright cause I see angels 
         G7
And they got me by the hand
F                 C
Don't you cry and don't you worry 
    G7                   C
I'm blessed and I know I am
F               C
Cause God has a place in heaven 
      G7         F        C
For a small town southern man

Repeat #3 

F             C
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness 
     G7         F        C
Of a small town southern man
