Pocahontas Proud Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Cm][Eb][C]

[Verse 1]
I was [C]raised in Pocahontas,
Illinois
Everybody thought of me as
one of the boys
'Cause [G]I'd run with
[F]a crowd that was [C]tough
[F]At fif[C]teen, I was tendin' Big O's Bar
I'd sing 'til 2 AM for a
half-full tip tip jar
Spent [G]my youth singing
[F]truth and payin' due[C]s

[Verse 2]
I'm the [G]biggest thing that [F]ever
came [C]from my hometown
And [G]I'll be damned [F]if I'm
gonna [C]let 'em down
If it's the [G]last thing I [F]do before they
[Am]lay me in the [G]ground
You know I'm gonna make
[C]Pocahontas proud

[Verse 3]
[C]I knocked on every door on music row
They looked down at me and said
"Girl, go back home,
you [G]ain't got (you ain't got)
What we [F]need (what we
[C]need) in this town"
But they [D]couldn't whup
the fighting side of me
You know where I come from,
we don't give up easily
[A]Overnight
It took all my [G]life to be [D]found

[Verse 4]
I'm the [A]biggest thing that [G]ever
came from my [D]hometown
And [A]I'll be damned [G]if I'm
gonna [D]let 'em down
If it's the [A]last thing I [G]do before
they [Bm]lay me in the ground
[A]You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas
[G]proud[D]

And I was born again when
I saw her sweet face
And I [A]knew she was the [G]greatest

[Verse 7]
biggest thing that [G]ever
came from my [D]hometown
[A]I'll be damned [G]if I'm gonna
