Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][A][D][G][C][C#dim][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]If I came
back to the [C]land of cotton,
[G]Would you [A]love just [D]me?
[G]Old loves lost are [C]ne'er
[C#dim]forgotten:
That's the [G]way it's [D]supposed [G]to be.

[Verse 2]
[G]Are you short or [C]are you long?
[G]Are you [A]easy [D]to see?
[G]Are you weak or [C]are you [C#dim]strong?
[D]Makes no never [G]to me.

[Verse 3]
All the [Am]ballerina [Em]sees
when her [D]world's on [C]fire,
Is [G]where she [A]puts her [D]feet.
If she [C]burns her [G]toes,
she'll [B]just jump [C]higher,[C#dim]
[G]Never [D]skip a beat.

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][A][D]
[G][C][C#dim][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]I've been good most [C]of the time,
[G]Since you [A]last saw [D]me.
[G]You come 'cross [C]my mind
[C#dim]from time to time,
[G]Now loo[D]k at me.[G]

[Verse 5]
I'm [Am]standing at your [Em]door with my
[D]heart in your [C]hands.
[G]Ain't you gonna [A]ask me [D]in?
If [C]you say: [G]"No", I'll [B]understand,
[C]dea[C#dim]r,
And never [D]come south [G]again.

[Verse 6]
[G]If I came back to the [C]land of cotton,
[G]Would you [A]love just [D]me?
[G]Old loves lost are [C]ne'er
[C#dim]forgotten:
That's [G]the way [D]it's s'posed
[G]to be.

[Outro 1]
