GMillworker houses lined up in a row Another C2southern Sunday's morning glow GBeneath the steeple all the people have begun Shakin C2hands with the man who grips the gospel gun While the qCuiet prayer The smell of Ddinner on the ground Fills up the Cmornin air ain't nothin Emsweeter Daround D (slow strum) I can almost hear my momma pray
GOh Lord forgive us, when we doubt another C2sacred Sunday in the South
Verse 2 continue with same chords as Verse 1 A ragged rebel flag flies high above it all poppin in the wind like an angry cannon ball Now the coals of history are cold and still but they still smell the powder burning and they probably always will and on the old town square under the barber shop pole they set me up in the chair when I was 4-years old I cannot almost hear my papa say Chorus 2 want you hold still son stop squirmin around another southern Sunday's comin' 'round break C2 | D | C2 | Em D I can almost hear the old folks say
Gyou'll make it big one day and leave this town it's another lC2azy Sunday, back around
G | G | C2 | C2 G strum and hold I can feel the evenin' sun go down C2 strum and hold and all the lights in the houses one by one go out
Gsoftly in the distance nothin' stirs about C2 strum once and the night is filled C2 strum once with the sound of a whipperwhill C2 slow strum on a sunday in the south allright
