CAPO 2ND FRET

SHE WAS SOMETHING IN HER FORMATIVE YEARS
G
SHE'D HIDE HER ACCENT IT WOULD REAPPEAR
D A
WHEN SHE WOULD BRAG ON WHAT DADDY BOUGHT LAST NIGHT
D
ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS WERE IN THAT CROWD
G
TO TEASE A HAND FULL OF POOR KIDS OUT LOUD
D A D
AND EVEN THEN I KNEW IT WASN'T RIGHT
-CHORUS-
G A D G
SMOKE RISE, YOU WERE NEVER KIND

SOME WHO HOPE THAT IT WOULD LAST

A D
SMOKE RISE I'M GLAD YOU'RE IN MY PAST
D
MOST OF THE KIDS WERE BETTER THAN ME
G
OR AT LEAST THEY THOUGHT SO AND IT WAS PLAIN TO SEE
D A
THE CHILDREN WERE CRUEL AND I DIDN'T HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE
D
I WASN'T A JOCK, I WASN'T A BRAIN
G
WE WEREN'T WELL OFF AND MAMA COULDN'T EXPLAIN
D A D
WHY NO ONE WOULD TAKE A POOR BOY TO THE DANCE
-CHORUS 2X-
D
SPOILED RICH KIDS FIND IT HARD TO EMBRACE
G
WHEN THEY BUS BLACK KIDS FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE
D A
THE COUNTY TRIED TO PROVE THEIR SCHOOLS WERE ALL THE SAME
D
OL' JIM CROW TRIED TO INTEGRATE
G
BUT IN THE SOUTH IT'S HARD TO RELATE
D A D
WHEN GRANDPA USED THE "N" WORD WITH NO SHAME
-CHORUS 2X-
