Great Song, so perform it!

F         Dm  C    F             Dm-C     F
There’s a southern accent, where I   come from
    Dm        C       F
The young’uns call it country
    Bb              C
The yankees call it dumb
         Dm  C      F
I got my own way of talkin’
    Bb            C            Dm- C    Bb
But everything is done, with a southern accent
(still A#)         F
Where I come from

Now that drunk tank in atlanta’s
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work orlando
If them orange groves don’t freeze
I got my own way of workin’
But everything is run, with a southern accent
Where I come from

Bb                      Dm
For just a minute there I was dreaming
Bb                       Dm
For just a minute it was all so real
Bb                        C        F           Bb  F
For just a minute she was standing there, with me

There’s a dream I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of prayin’
But everyone’s begun
With a sou thern accent
Where I come from

         Dm  C      F
I got my own way of livin’
    Bb              C
But everything gets done
       Dm- C    Bb
With a southern accent
                   F
Where I come from
