Flatland Hillbillies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Am][F][D]

[Verse 1]
We're [D]flatland
hillbillies, Irish Cajun [Am]Creole [D]mix
My [G]brothers on an off shore rig,
my sis[D]ter's on the pole [Am]at s[D]licks[Am]
[F]Mama takes in [G]peoples washing,
she was [F]widowed by a [G]pipeline man
We're [D]flatland hillbillies, getting

[Verse 2]
by on what we can
[D]We're river rats and john [Am]boat [D]shrimpers,
[Am]trou[D]ble in our DNA
It [G]wouldn't be the same Port Arthur if
[D]we got up and moved [Am]away
[F]God forbid we [G]hit the lotto,
[F]chances are we'd wind up [Am]shot[G]
We're [D]flatland hillbillies, getting by
on what we've got
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Flatland hillbillies heathen to
the marrow bone
[F]Working on your cars and
[Em]drinking in your [E]bars
And [Am]running every red- [A]light [G]home,

[Interlude 1]
yeah
[D][G][D]
[F][G][F][G][D][Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 4]
[E]If you've never ran a trot line,
[Em]never skinned an [E]eight point buck
[A]Never had a squirrel- meat sandwich
(covered up [Em]in gravy)
Then I guess you're just [E]out of luck (and I
don't [Bm]mean [G]maybe)
Living on the edge of [A]nowhere
(we ain't going [G]nowhere)
Isn't for the feint of [A]heart (oh no,
we're not)
We're [E]flatland hillbillies, waiting
on the fire to start

[Outro 1]
Flatland hillbillies, another other breed apart
[E]
