Alabama - High Cotton Chords


G
We didn't know the times were lean
C
Around our home the grass was green
    G                                                      D7
It didn't seem like things were all that bad
   G
I bet we walked a thousand miles
C
Chopping cotton and pushing plows
        G                        D7               G
And learning how to give it all we had


As life went on and years went by
C
I saw the light in daddy's eyes 
G                                           D7
And felt the love in mama's hands
G
They kept us warm and kept us fed
C
Taught us how to look ahead
         G                     D7              G
Now looking back I think I understand


We Were Walking in High Cotton
                 C
Old times there are not forgotten
           G                                      D7
Those fertile fields are never far away
                                  G
We were walking in high cotton
                  C           
Old times there are not forgotten
              G                                  D7                  G
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced


When Sunday morning rolled around
C
We dressed up in hand-me downs
        G                                      D7
Just in time together with the church
G
Sometimes I think how long it's been
C
And how it impressed me then
     G                              D7                      G
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work


We Were Walking in High Cotton
                 C
Old times there are not forgotten
           G                                      D7
Those fertile fields are never far away
                                  G
We were walking in high cotton
                  C           
Old times there are not forgotten
              G                                  D7                  G
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced
