Son of the New South Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Raised a child of farmer folks
down [C]in the Southern land
[G]I worked all day in the summer sun
'til my [C]back was [G]leather tan
[D]Now I've been called hillbilly,
I've been [C]called a redneck too
But [G]I ain't backwards, dumb or poor,
[C]I'm just red, [G]white [D]and blue
Son [G]of the New South,

[Verse 2]
[G]
step- [D]child to Uncle Sam
[C]Baptized [G]in 100 proof [C]and saved
by the [G]blood of the lam[D]b
This is [G]the New South,
still drink our [D]tea from a Mason jar
We're the [C]backbone of this [G]country
and we're [C]proud of who [D]we are
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
From Richmond to Montgomery
From San Ant[C]one to Caroline
There's a [G]brand new spirit sweepin' in
Like [C]wind through [G]Georgia [D]pines

[Verse 4]
I hold on to [D]some old ways
[C]I ain't scared to try the new
But [G]what it comes to what I change
I'll [C]be [G]the one [D]to choose

[Verse 5]
Son of [G]the New South,
step- [D]child to Uncle Sam
Bap[C]tized [G]in 100 proof [C]and saved
by the [G]blood of the lam[D]b
This is [G]the New South,
still drink [D]our tea from a Mason jar
We're the [C]backbone of this [G]country and we're
proud of who [D]we are
[G][D][C][G]

[Verse 6]
[C][G][D]
Well the [G]times are a changin'
And the [D]South has come of age
We've [G]put the past behind us
It's [A]time to turn the page
