Salty South

[G] [D] [Em] [Cmaj]

[G]Mister pull up a chair
[D]I got time for tears
[Em]Tell me all the stories [C]that you never did
[G]Of the salty south
[D]The Seminoles held o[Em]ut
While Geronimo died in[C] a lonely jail

[G]A thousand tides, and
[D]A thousand waves
[Em]Takin' it all[C] away

[G]It'll come back in
[D]We'll be gone by then
And it'[Em]s a miracle we ever l[C]earned to live

Drain that land
For a better plan
Sugarcane and the civil man
But now the ringin' dead them pines
Planted in that time
We gonna keep on killin' till they get it right

A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves
Takin' it all away

It'll come back in
We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we ever learned to live

I remember the wind
As it was settlin'
And every sun goin' down was a picture then
But we look back at 'em framed
They all look the same
There's no sense of time, no sense of pain

A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves
Takin' it all away

And it'll come back in
We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we ever learned to give
