Pulaski Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]
[Bm][G][D][G][A][D]
She was [A]fresh

[Verse 1]
[D]
[G]out of college
[D]The first one in her[G] family to [D]go
And [Bm]Californi[G] a seemed
like heav[D]en,
Pulaski, [G]Tennessee [A]was her hom[D]e
[G][D][G]
[D][Bm][G][D][G][A]
[D]
She worked [A]on [D]losing [G]her
southern ac[D]cent
And turned her back [G]on her Baptist [D]ways
She bought some [Bm]clothes [G]that barely
[A]cov[D]ered her fair skinned bod[G]y,
Went to [A]Nashville and caught
[D]a plane
[G]The clouds rushed be[D]neath her
as the [Bm]LA smog filled the ai[A]r
She [G]smiled when the airlock [D]opene[Bm]d
And the Paci[G]fic breeze [A]blew through her
[D]hair[G][D][G]
[D][Bm][G][D][G][A]
[D]
She thought about [G]the boys
from [D]Alabama
Who came into town [G]every
Friday [D]night
And drank [Bm]beer out [G]of big
[A]glass quart [D]bottles
And left their [G]trail of [A]blood
and tears be[D]hind
She thought the [G]men from California
would be differ[D]ent
She'd [Bm]grown up watching
them on her [A]TV
But the [G]men she came to know
in Californi[D]a[Bm]
Left her long[G]ing for Pu[A]laski, Tennessee
[D][G][D][G][D][Bm][G][D][G][A]
[D]Goo[A]d[Bm]
ideas always start [A]with a full glass
And just [G]breathing here [D]can make
a girl's [A]nose bleed
[G]Dreams here live and die just like a stray [D]dog
[Bm]on a dirt [G]road somewhere[A] in Tennessee
[D]The sto[G]refronts all filled
up with eye[D]balls
As the policemen [G]clear out [D]the street
For a [Bm]line of cars [G]with their
headlights burn[D]ing
Driving [G]slow through Pu[A]laski,
Tenness[D]ee
