Russell Dickerson – Southern Symphony Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
C  G  Am G  F C  Dm7 G

[Verse 1]
G            C       
Where I come from we 
               F
wash up before supper
          G    C            F
You don't talk back to your mother
                          Dm7
Or you get your butt worn out
G              C
  Where I come from
         G                 F
It's the same pew every Sunday
        G                     F
And the preacher says there's one 
way to Heaven
            G
And you can ask the good Lord now
      Dm7             
Yeah, something about 
                   G
you brings me back home
           Dm7          
Girl, your kiss is like 
                       G
a trip down some swept road

[Chorus]
         C          G        Am
It's the sound of a magnolia breeze
    G              F
Ice cubes in sweet tea
                Am
Fight song on a Friday
Dm7                       G
Bug zapper buzzin' in the driveway
         C     
It ain't much, 
       G         Am
but it sounds so sweet
           G     F
A southern symphony
                           G
To sing along, let it play on 
and on
                          
'Cause where I come from, 
         C         G Am G   
that's a love song,     mmm
F C  Dm7 G

[Verse 2]
             C
Where I come from
                       F
The pot don't call the kettle
          G     
We settle down, 
             F
but we don't settle
        C             Dm7
We take time to stop, just to 
feel the wind blow
G              C
  Where I come from
        G                Am
We grow sweet corn and tobacco
    G                    F
And everybody waves back at 
you when you pass 'em
          G
Girl, you take me back 
to that road

[Chorus]
         C     
It's the sound 
     G        Am
of a magnolia breeze
    G              F
Ice cubes in sweet tea
                Am
Fight song on a Friday
Dm7                       G
Bug zapper buzzin' in the 
driveway
         C     
It ain't much, 
       G         Am
but it sounds so sweet
           G     F
A southern symphony
                           G
To sing along, let it play on 
and on
'Cause where I come from, 
         C         G Am G
that's a love song,

         C          G        Am
It's the sound of a magnolia breeze

Fight song on a Friday
Dm7                       G
Bug zapper buzzin' in the driveway
         C        G     Am
It's the sound of Hymn 112
           G       F
Stories my Grandpa tells
F
Garth Brooks on a CD
Am    Dm7          G
  And Rocky Top on TV

A southern symphony
Sing along, 
                    G          
but we don't need a record on, 
    F
no, no
                        G
Just let it play on and on

'Cause where I come from, 
         C         Am
that's a love song
F         G
  Where I come from
         F             C    
that's a love song-ong_ong
