Capo 4 (or tune down ? step) 
 

     E5                            A5   
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan 
       E5                     B5 
From a pickup to a long limousine 
     E5                            A5  
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan 
E5          B5         E5 
She had to follow her dream  

 
  E5                      A5             E5     
I saved up enough to buy her one small diamond 
           E5                           B5 
That's the year that old tractor broke down 
        E5                                A5               E5 
And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree 
         E5          B5          E5 
Some old bricks and boards all around 
 
She begged me to take her to see New York city 

So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone 

But while we were there she took up with a rich man 

I came back to the country alone 
 
Key Change 
F5                                  Bb5            F5 
Now, there is the garden where she touched every flower 
            F5                              C5 
There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand 
   F5                            Bb5            F5 
If only she'd waited she'd have more than she dreamed of 
    F5                 C5        F5 
For today they struck oil on my land

She went from cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan 
From a pickup to a lonely limousine 
From cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan 
She had to follow her dream 
She went from cotton to satin
