Southern Anthem Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Just like the way that you ran to wine
When they made [G]the new milk turn
[A]Jesus, a friend in the better times
[D]Let your [G]mother's bible [D]burn
Freedom, a fever you suffered through
And the dog [G]drank from your [D]cup[G]
[A]Frozen, the river that baptized you
[D]And the [G]horse died standing [D]up[G]

[Verse 2]
But [G]when a southern anthem [D]rings[A][G]
She will buckle to [D]that [A]sou[G]nd
When that southern anthem [D]sing[A]s[G]
It [D]will [G]lay her [D]burdens[A][D][G][D][G][A]
[G][D][G][A]
[G][D][G][D][A]
[G]dow[D]n[A][G][D][A]

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][D][A]
[D]Just like the

[Verse 3]
way you lost your guns
When they [G]cut the clothesline [A]loose
Jesus, a friend of the weaker ones
Said, 'I'm [D]all [G]they stole from you'
[D]Freedom, a thistle that withered dry
Still a [G]baby in your [A]hands
Frozen, the ground refused to die
[D]And the [G]guitar rose [D]again[G]

[Verse 4]
But [G]when that southern anthem [D]rings
[A]She [G]will buckle to
the [D]sound[A][D][G]
When that south[D]ern [G]anthem [D]sings
[A]It [G]will lay her burdens dow[D]n
