Author's Note - From "The One" 1992 - https://youtu.be/c2kaHytln2k
G F C G x4
G C G C G D D4 D
Tonight it's hot down here, I can almost smell the rain
G C G Bm D D4 D
And I can almost taste the fear, behind your name
G C G C G D D4 D
Fans turning on the ceiling, I feel sticky as a chili dog
G C G Bm D D4 D
White boys howling in the evening, on that hollow log
Em C G/B D D4 D
Tall tales down the river, Say we aim to bury the truth
Em C G D
But the right hand just delivered, The devil in a suit
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4 D
And he talks big in Whitewash County
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4
Talks sweet as su-gar cane
Em D C G/B F
Got a past that's filled with lightning
C Cm G
Got a future filled with rain
G F C G x4
G C G C G D D4 D
Bug buzzing in an empty glass, fiddle scratching some lazy tune
G C G Bm D D4 D
We're just some place that history passed, new dust, new broom
G C G C G D D4 D
And it's a high hot buttered moon, he's got a shiny new wax face
G C G Bm D D4 D
Swears the South's gonna rise again soon, all over the place
Em C G/B D D4 D
Tall tales down the river, Say we aim to bury the truth
Em C G D
But the right hand just delivered, The devil in a suit
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4 D
And he talks big in Whitewash County
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4
Talks sweet as su-gar cane
Em D C G/B F
Got a past that's filled with lightning
C Cm G
Got a future filled with rain
G F C G x4
G C G C G D D4 D G C G Bm D D4 D x2
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4 D
And he talks big in Whitewash County
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4
Talks sweet as su-gar cane
Em D C G/B F
Got a past that's filled with lightning
C Cm
Got a future filled with
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4 D
Rain down on Whitewash County
C G/B Am G D D4 D D4
Smell the air coming up the line
Em D C G/B F
Well you've changed your face so often
C Cm G
But you never change your mind
G F C G x20
