It was ^C'96 in ^EmSouth Carolina That's the ^Fplace and not the goddamn ^Gyear ^CSittin' on the porch out at ^EmBobby's place Just ^Ftuggin' on a Lukewarm ^Gbeer

[Pre-Chorus]

And^F there I was peepin' like an o^Dmld sidewinder Just an ^Finch or so above the ^Dmmud The^Am first to find out that ^Fit's rainin' Is the ^Clast to find out it's a ^Gflood

[Verse]

And it was^C paradise valley Nev^Emada Not ^Ffar from where the west was ^Gwon I am the ^Conly black face in the ^Emwhole damn place Just a ^Fraisin' in the blazing ^Gsun

[Pre-Chorus]

And^F there I am like that ^Dmold sidewinder Just ^Fwishin' that her eggs ain't ^Dmhatched And ^Amthe chain I wear has 'em ^Fwishin' for the day When ^Cit came with a ball ^Gattached

[Chorus]

So I'm gonna m^Cove,^Em right outta this t^Fown ^G This ^Cold skin,^Em stops weighing me d^Fown ^G This old skin

[Bridge]

He was ^Fsittin' in the very same ^Dmspot that Otis ^CSat to watch the dock of th^Ame bay In the^Bb very same spot, that the^Dm ships rolled in Now there's^G nothin' but the mud and the clay

[Chorus]

I'm gonna m^Cove, ^Em right outta this t^Fown ^G This o^Cld skin ^Em is weighing me d^Fown ^G This old skin

[Instrumental] C Em F G [Verse]

^COutside Orlando in the ^Emsunshine state Has^F just upped itself another ^Gdegree I am the ^Cvery last orange of the ^Emwhole year's crop Ha^Fngin' dearly to the branch of the ^Gtree

[Pre Chorus]

And t^Fhe wind and the spring couldn't ^Dmdo anything So I'm^F burnin' in the sun of ^Dmthe south ^AmThat old sidewinder in the ^Fdust below I'm just^C waiting till it opens its ^Gmouth

[Chorus]

So I'm gonna ^Cmove,^Em right outta this t^Fown ^G When this o^Cld skin,^Em finally touches the g^Fround ^G This old skin

[Bridge]

He was ^Fsittin' in the very same ^Dmspot that Otis ^CSat to watch the dock of th^Ame bay In the^Bb very same spot, that the^Dm ships rolled in Now there's^G nothin' but the mud and the clay

[Chorus]

Now, I'm gonna ^Cmove,^Em right outta this t^Fown ^G When this o^Cld skin,^Em finally touches the g^Fround ^G This ^Cold skin^Em This ^Fold skin ^G This ^Cold s^Emkin ^F ^G This old^C skin
