Dry County Dust

Bm G A G Bm Bm Chickens in the backyard G Preserves in mason jars A Bm Dry county dust has got me feelin' kinda low Bm Cat's on the windowsill G I'm feeling shaky still A Bm Mama's in the kitchen singing sweet by and by Bm She can't quite hold the tune G She's dancing 'round the room A Bm I disappoint her but she'll still carry on G Bm Thank God forgiveness comes in so many shapes A Bm I've been traveling in anger tryin' to ditch the shakes G Bm If you get high in Texarkana, can you still wake up in grace A Bm G A Bm That's Mom in the kitchen singing sweet by and by Bm A fox got the chickens y'all G Was too late I never heard 'em squall A There's one goldеn pullet left Bm She's thе queen of the roost Bm Sittin' on her compost pile G Lookin' out her one good eye A Bm I'm tryin' to hold her but she won't be held Bm G She's my softy girl, too soft in an angry world A Bm Oh, fat flesh is slaughtered, and hallow wings will break G Bm Thank God forgiveness comes in so many shapes A Bm I've been traveling in anger tryin' to ditch the shakes G Bm If you get high in Texarkana, can you still wake up in grace A Em Bm G A Bm That's Mom in the kitchen singing sweet by and by Bm My mother's in the ground G All ancient wisdom now A Bm Hope she's alright with this ugly brown dress Bm We sent the old girl on G With guitars and gospel songs A Bm But there's things a microphone just can't pick up G Something like quiet prayer but it comes from everywhere D G Em Bm A Something like a loan you know you never can pay back G Bm Thank God forgiveness comes in so many shapes A Bm I've been traveling in anger tryin' to ditch the shakes G Bm If you die in Texarkana, you still wake up in grace G A Bm That's Mom in the kitchen singing sweet by and by G A D Bm That's Mom in the kitchen singing sweet by and by Bm Chickens in the backyard G Preserves in mason jars A Bm Dry county dust has got me feelin' kinda low
