[Verses]
APalmetto rose in the AC vent
Cross stitched pillow where the head rest went
DSaid his cab was his orneriest friend
ALeft him jumping like trees in the wind
AThought he had the red lights memorized
Glass in the gravel like the stars in the sky
DIn that slow motion minute between living and dead
ALooked in my eyes and he told me, he said
This Awar that I wage to get Dup every Aday
It's a fiberglass boat, it's Eazaleas in AMay
It's the F#mwomen I Elove and the Dlaw that I Ahate
Lord let me die in the DIodine AState
Lord let me die in the EIodine AState
(During the last part of the chorus, mimic the vocal melody with something like this:
e|-------------------------------------------------|
B|---------5--5h7-5~-------------------------------|
G|-----s6-------------6s--2--4-2-4-2~--------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|

APalmetto rose in the sidewalk mud
Pearly white stem and a big green bud
DCatch him coming out of a King Street store
ABullshit story about the Civil War
AYou can believe what you want to believe
But there ain't no making up a basket weave
DEverybody in the tri-county knows
AWho makes the best palmetto rose
And it's wAar that we wage to get Dup every dAay
It's a bAasket of sweetgrass, a wEedding bouqAuet
It's the lF#madies I lEove and the lDaw that I hAate
But LAord let me die in the IDodine SAtate
ALord let me die in the IEodine F#mState

Violin: F#m E D A
Out on DSullivan's Island, they're Aswimming
On the Dbeach where the big boats rolledA in
With theD earliest slaves, women and Achildren
Our first EAmerican kin
Here on DKing Street we're selling our Aroses
DTwo for a five dollar Abill
And Dtonight after everything Acloses
I'll follow my own Efree will
And I've F#mtaken my Efill D A
I've F#mtaken myE fill D A
D
During the verses, mess around with the honky tonk in A. Honky tonk is about teasing
the minor over a major progression. Something like:
e|----5--5----------------------5------------------|
B|----5--5--5-------------------5------------------|
G|----------5h6------------5h6---------------------|
D|---------------7-5-7~----------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|
You get the idea.
