Intro SOL DO SOL
CHORUS
SOL RE/FA# DO SOL
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
DO RE SOL RE RE/MI RE/FA#
Down where the dogwood trees grow
SOL RE/FA# DO SOL
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon
DO RE SOL RE RE/MI RE/FA#
To the home you left so long ago
SOL RE/FA# DO SOL
If you ever get south of the Ohio River
DO RE SOL RE RE/MI RE/FA#
Down where Dixieland begins
SOL RE/FA# DO SOL
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
DO RE SOL DO SOL
I'll be yours again
SOL DO SOL
She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible
SOL RE SOL
And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
SOL DO SOL
For fourteen years she'd write each day but keep it hidden
SOL RE SOL
Refused to even speak his name but still she wrote
Chorus
At a cold gray apartment in Chicago
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin
He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk or sober
He'll never read the words that pride won't let her send
Chorus
