Tonight it's hot down here
C G D
I can almost smell the rain
G C G
And I can almost taste the fear
D
Behind your name
G C G
Fans turning on the ceiling
C G D
I feel sticky as a chili dog
G C G
White boys howling in the evening
D
On that hollow log
Em C
Tall tales down the river
D
Say we aim to bury the truth
Em C
But the right hand just delivered
G/D D
The devil in a suit
C G/B Am G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
And he talks big in Whitewash County
C G/B Am G D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Talks sweet as sug- ar cane
D Em D C G/B F
Got a past that's filled with lightning
C/E Cm/Eb G
Got a future filled with rain
Bug buzzing in an empty glass
Fiddle scratching some lazy tune
We're just some place that history passed
New dust, new broom
And it's a high hot buttered moon
He's got a shiny new wax face
Swears the South's gonna rise again soon
All over the place
Rain down on Whitewash County
Smell the air coming up the line
Well you've changed your face so often
But you never change your minD
{go nuts here}
